Product Description
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 Luc­a. 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 Luc­a 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

"Deceiving Title"
Written By: CiCi
This movie should be titled only "Lucia!" It was given to me and I wasn't sure what to expect because it says sex in the title but to my surprise this movie might be quite a disappointment if you are looking for sex. It mostly "speaks" about sex and attempts to taunt and tease but if you are looking for actual graphic sex even in the slightest, don't worry, you won't find it in this movie. There is a small amount of nudity which does not show any private parts and scenes of assimilated sex. However a Nun could watch this movie and probably be offended the most by the sexual language overtones which by the way is all in Spanish but has English subtitles. The sex scenes are lighter than light porn with nothing really exposed at all. So no worries there. There are several very open sexual conversations though, only conversations but no private body parts are shown in any of the pretend sex scenes except for breasts. There is a rather boring striptease scene that might leave a little to the imagination if you are desperate for a striptease. At times you may find an occassional butt exposed in the movie but not necessarily sensual. All in all Sex and Lucia is a rather clean but very disturbing movie of the psyche of the characters desperately seeking lust and love.
A dissapointment unless you are looking for a movie of suspense and confusing love triangles.
"Lovely "
Written By: Julio E. Perez Ruiz
Beautiful story, beutiful woman and a very pretty island. Erotic movie without getting into the cheap pornography in the market. I recommend it for couples that need a spark in their lives.
"disappointing"
Written By: Can Sevinç
First, this is not an erotic film. The title of the film is very misleading. No attractive characters, no hot or explicit sex scene. No intresting subject. I didn't like it at all.
"Walking Around the Edge of the Real"
Written By: Doug Anderson
Elena...is a traveler we first see swimming on a magic-infused night in the moonlit shallows of a remote island. She seeks only a wild erotic encounter with another naked traveler (Lorenzo). The stranger doesn't want to know her name nor she his; its a purely erotic surrender to the power of fantasy uncomplicated by anything real. Both agree that it is the most intense sex they have ever had. Just for fun they exchange a few facts: dates of birth, hometowns, occupations.

However, as a result of this surreal encounter Elena becomes pregnant. And thereafter she searches for the anonymous father of her child who she names "Luna"--the daughter is a living reminder of that otherworldly night. Everyone in this story is a creator, and everyone is seduced by other's stories; the characters live in their own interconnectiong and overlapping spells.

Lorenzo...is a writer whose erotic imagination allows him to create rich imaginative realms and stories that are more like spells. He is a writer who prefers to live in his own fictional worlds than to confront the complications of real people and real life, but real life cannot be altogether avoided and when something tragic happens to one of Lorenzo's creations, he is forced to re-imagine the uses to which the creative imagination can be put and to re-think the constructive relation between real life and storytelling.

Lucia: While reading one of his books, Lucia falls in love with novelist Lorenzo's words and decides to track him down. She finds him at a restaurant in Madrid and there immediately professes her love for him the first moment they set eyes on each other. She is a character as beautiful and unreal as any a novelist could invent and for this reason Lorenzo immediately falls in love with her as well. They move in together and begin a life full of erotic fantasy and experimentation, for awhile anyway. But in time the spell begins to lose some of its escapist magic, and Lorenzo's fictional world (which is informed by memory of his island encounter with Elena) slowly reclaims him.

Complicating the neat divide between fact and fiction, Lorenzo learns from his publisher that he has a daughter (the result of the moonlit encounter that so seductively haunts him) named "Luna".

Belen: Lorenzo wants to see his daughter without seeing Elena and so he goes to the park where a babysitter named Belen takes her to play. There Lorenzo and Belen develop a friendship based on mutually confessed fantasies about others that become fantasies about each other. They decide to act out their fantasues in real life, but something terrible happens the night that they get together.

Lorenzo finds that he cannot cope with the tragedy. As a result of his debilitating depression his relationship with Lucia suffers and the two have a terrible fight one night and Lucia after delivering some harsh words about what it is really like living with a ghost, goes off to work. When Lucia comes home from work that night she discovers that Lorenzo is gone, the phone rings and its the police informing her that...

Assuming that Lorenzo is dead, Lucia heads off to the island that is featured in the book that he was writing before he disappeared. There she begins the difficult task of separating the facts of her own life with Lorenzo from the fiction. But that is no easy task. The island itself seems to exist somewhere between the real and the imagined. When she first arrives there she wants only to escape from all human contact but soon she is seduced back into life by the island's, and several stranger's, spell(s).

The island scenes are lush with color and Lucia's explorations of the island, and the stranger's seeking sanctuary there, take on mythic significance. The island is like a story but one that does not follow any single linear narrative path, and one that is rife with secret passageways, strange encounters, and enchanted locations.

The characters are each erotically enmeshed in each other's lives, patterns emerge, but no single truth or plot ever forecloses on the erotics of myriad possibility, of new beginnings, of further encounters.

As mysterious and as perplexing as Open Your Eyes, but richer (and sexier).

"Explicit but interesting"
Written By: J. Dykstra
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.
