DVD Reviews of Sex and Lucia (R-Rated Edition)

DVD Review: I Couldn't Decide ...
Summary: 3 Stars

... whether to regard this film as pretentious pseudo-pornography or pornographic pseudo-pretentiousness. Perhaps both? En todo caso, ?no me ha divertido suficientemente!

DVD Review: A Perfect Five Stars: it deserves no less!
Summary: 5 Stars

You know, it's really hard to find good erotica films that are both rousing AND tasteful. Films like Lie With Me, 9 Songs and Intimacy are putrid examples of erotica films that are all skin but no feeling or depth to them. Moreover, the characters are portrayed as desperate and pitiful as they use sex as a stimulator to merely bring spark to their sad lives.
But Sex & Lucia is a WHOLE NEW KIND OF EROTICA! And I am happy that I purchased it. Paz Vega's role as Lucia is one of the most vibrant, most hypnotized women that I have ever come across. She makes the screen glow in a firelight haze. And her role as a well-to-do waitress who seeks "inspiration" from a distant, hermetic writer named Lorenzo (Tristan Ulloa) strikes a passionate relationship between each other. The very realistic sex scenes in the film are those of passion, beauty and excitement in a manner that takes on an almost modern day Apollo and Daphnie parable.
And good news...there is an awesome storyline to provide counterpoint in the film. I won't give away details, but I can say that it involves a rich combination of dramatic and romantic story threads. Finding the perfect girl, her remarkable impact on the writer's life, the authors plight in dealing with his troubled past, his writers block and how it relates to certain tension in his life, encountering an old relationship with a previous love and discovering that he has a daughter.
And the surrealistic images of the island, shot in a neon-like hue in key scenes, gives the film a dreamy quality to it that sets this film far above the norm of the usual erotica cinema.
Buy this film, watch it either alone or with a special other, and let a new kind of magic enter your life. This film will transform you into a romanticist for life. I guarantee it!!!

DVD Review: What I Saw
Summary: 4 Stars

I saw a lot of two young people enjoying sex and a rather convoluted tale wrapped around them. Acting was good, bodies were beautiful.

DVD Review: Paz Vega's conquest of Latin America!
Summary: 5 Stars

Just make sure you're getting the Unrated Version, then savor the taste of cinematic dulce de leche...

DVD Review: You'll watch it again, and again...just buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars

Passion and sex were never so inviting as in this wonderful Spanish mix of what is real, and what is written. A mesmerizing true original. See it! You'll love it.

Description of Sex and Lucia (R-Rated Edition)

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 Luc?a. 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 Luc?a 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
