Review of Sex and Lucía (2001) by Young C — 14 Jun 2007
Like his fellow Spaniard Pedro Almodovar, write/director Julio Medem also likes to work with strange circumstances, exotic coincidences & the powers of chance all tied into a situation that an everyday audience could grasp and relate to.
Finding true love is hard to come by as everyone's been telling me my whole life, and this story is a gut wrenchingly beautiful one of true love, about finding it by chance, losing it, then living through the loss and how it changes people and their outlook on life.
I like movies that tie in all the angles of love, that goes beyond the romantic love and explores the sides of paternal love, love between friends & even within the parameters of the fantastical, fictitious world of movies, it portrays a well rounded human experience.
And talk about the full human experience, this one as the title suggests, has quite a bit of the steamy scenes in it. And to mention that those scenes are shot almost so candidly that it can make you really uncomfortable watching it with someone you've never been intimate with, but seriously, I'd argue that, if one does not have a chance to make love on a level that is at least equally as passionate as it is portrayed here, it would just be too sad.
..no?
