Amazon.com
Sex and Lucia engages mind and body with its time-bending narrative and images of beautiful Spaniards having vibrant sex. The story shifts between past and present, fact and fiction, so a plot summary won't capture it, but… A young writer named Lorenzo falls into a passionate relationship with a waitress named Lucia. But he also finds himself drawn to a young nanny taking care of a child who just might be the result of an anonymous fling Lorenzo had with a woman he met on an island the year before. Lorenzo fantasizes about the lives of all of these women until a horrific event sends him into a suicidal depression. This may sound obscure or flat, but Sex and Lucia unfolds clearly and beautifully, featuring stunning visual images of both nature and flesh, and weaving a poetic spell much like the director's previous film, The Lovers of the Arctic Circle. --Bret Fetzer

Explicit but interesting July 16, 2008
This film has many extremely explicit sex scenes, especially near the beginning. However, it also has an interesting and "different" type of plotline that is very circular in nature and includes a few somewhat unexpected twists. If you like this movie, or would prefer one that is a bit less explicit, Amantes del cirulo polar is by the same director and has a similar feel and circular plot.

Make Way For Lucia May 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

From the directing to the acting to the soundtrack to the cinematography, "Sex and Lucia" is a superb film that you will want to see again and again. It is the rarest of movies in that it appeals equally to the intellect and the senses. The sex scenes, and there are many of them, are as steamy and erotic as any you'll see. But this film is much more. It's a beautiful love story, it is about starting over, it ultimately is about hope.

Julio Medem is a fantastic director as he weaves a story between the past and the present, fiction and reality. Much of the film is shot at the sea with overexposed transparent frames that creates a feeling of hope so necessary to counteract the tragedy that has occurred in the lives of these characters. Both Paz Vega as Lucia and Tristan Ulloya as her novelist-lover Lorenzo give outstanding performances.

Although I sometimes felt I was in a black hole with these characters, the journey was worth it. "Sex and Lucia" is one of the best movies I've seen recently.

Not in English May 25, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful

The product description says this movie is in English and Spanish. Not so. It is in Spanish, with English subtitles. Not the same thing. If you are fluent in Spanish, or don't mind reading subtitles while trying to watch the picture, go ahead an get it. Otherwise, save your money for something else.

"It was OK" March 3, 2008

The product was fine. My only argument is that the shipping took a week longer than it was expected. Everything else was all right.
