Product Description

Product Description

An intricate and erotic story of lost loves and chance meetings from director Julio Medem ('The Red Squirrel', 'Lovers of the Arctic Circle'). When her novelist boyfriend dies in a car accident, Lucía (Paz Vega) retreats to a small Mediterranean island and stays at a guesthouse run by a woman named Elena (Najwa Nimri). Thinking back over the events which brought her here, Lucía soon discovers a network of magical connections which involve not only herself and her boyfriend, but also Elena, Elena's daughter, and fellow boarder Carlos.

From Amazon.co.uk

The opening of Sex and Lucia transforms the viewer into a hypnotic state of relaxation with shots of the deep blue sea. However, director Julio Medem has other ideas and immediately thereafter thrusts us into a modern-day restaurant where we first meet Lucia who is trying to prevent her boyfriend Lorenzo from committing suicide. Having returned home to find his infamous "note", she runs away to the island Lorenzo spoke of. Here the narrative becomes disjointed, jumping from past, to present, to imagination through Lorenzo's novel.

The premise of the film revolves around relationships and how the past comes back to haunt us all. Although the title indicates that there may be a level of pornography, the film does gauge itself on sex in the middle of the film--to little effect. As with great horror movies, it's what the imagination leads us to think is there and not what we see that titillates our senses and over indulgence leads to boredom after a while (perhaps this was Medem's intention?). However, despite this minor flaw Medem's imagery, as always, is stunning, from the relationship between the moon and the sun, to the sea and the beach, to the blatantly phallic lighthouse with a port hole, every image adds to the plot and once the narrative ties up the loose end you'll feel emotionally revitalised.

On the DVD: Sex and Lucia holds a disappointing array of special features. Roger Clarke's film notes are informative, but like the filmographies is pure text. It also includes the option to play without English subtitles. While the features are disappointing, the soundtrack and visual images offer nothing but unadulterated bliss; you can almost feel the sea wash over you. --Nikki Disney --This text refers to an alternate DVD edition.

3.0 out of 5 starsmaking it up
By A Customer on 7 April 2006
Format: DVD
(Slight word of warning, if necessary: this is just over 2 hours long, and being with subtitles and full of dialogue, much attention is needed thoughout)

Sensually the film has much to enjoy - the mediterranean sunshine, beaches, plenty of (often naked) eye candy for both sexes, and a decent soundtrack with notably a piano playing at 'significant' points in the flim

As others have commented the film revolves mainly around half-a-dozen late twenty-somethings and their intertwinings, emotional and physical, with a couple of very explicit sex-scenes both with brief (blink and you'll miss them) pornographic moments. But I'm going to sound a bit pretentious and suggest that the other viewers have mostly missed the main theme of the film

Although Lucia (and the sex) major in the film the main character for me is Lucia's boyfriend, Lorenzo. And what does Lorenzo do? He's a writer! And what do (fiction) writers do? They make things up! And that to me is what this film is really about - the art/process of writing, using imagination, making things up, and living/not living in what others see as the real world

Arguably the writer and director of the film are indulging themselves regarding the creative/writing process: its benefits (for the writer) and the effects it has on their lives and other people they know, and the rest is essentially subtext. Both Lorenzo and Elena separately say something like: " .... the beauty is you can stop half-way through and start again". Stop and restart what? What is the signifcance of the hole in the beach? Is anything/anyone ever actually seen there? Where does a writer, or anyone when 'creating', go? At one point Lorenzo, seeing the effect his story/writing has on Lucia, dashes off saying: "I must kill them off!" With a gun?Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsbriliant sexy surreal
By cartoon on 16 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Spanish are one of my favourites in world cinema and this is a classic ; a crazy odd story dividing what is real , what could be real and what could be a writer playing tricks . Beautiful actresses [ young Paz Vega and Elena Anaya before Almodovar made them stars] , erotic scenes that actually look beautiful and a fun magic realism plot . Perfect.

5.0 out of 5 starsUn rayo de sol.
By Charlie S. on 28 April 2003
Format: DVD
This film is beautiful. It takes the viewer on a painful but incredibly rewarding journey, somehow effortlessly getting away with convenient plot twists which would be impossible to not view cynically in any other film. The craftsmanship of Julio Medem is as expected second to none, and his creation is one of the most original films I have experienced. Excellent acting, stunning cinematography, and a story which touches your soul. I cannot recommend 'Lucia y el sexo' highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 starssex and lucia- a classy art house treasure
By Stephen Westwood on 11 May 2011
Format: Blu-ray
This movie keeps you gripped from start to finish. A couple have a fling on a romantic island. Years later a new love comes into his life but the consequences of the past return and with terrible consequences. This movie has it all. It's erotic, beautiful island scenery gives great atmosphere to this emotionally charged tale of lust, consquences, the past unexpectedly offering windfalls, then a tragedy occurs bringing about painful re-unions. The lives of his past and current loves become overlayed as the story reaches a conclusion that you hardly dare believe would happen. Big lump in the throat garaunteed. You will watch this over and over.

4.0 out of 5 starsDark, passionate and satisfying
By A Customer on 9 Feb. 2003
Format: DVD
It's hard to classify such a complex film into any genre; part passion drama, part comedy, part fantasy, Sex and Lucia will draw you in and not let go. The dreamy, bleached film quality reflects the delicate way in which the film floats between past and present, truth and imagination.
The key theme of the film is summarised by a question posed by Lucia to her partner: "Which would you prefer: wild sex with a stranger, or making love to a partner, which is also wild?".
A night of passion comes back to haunt Lucia's partner Lorenzo, when through a series of twists and turns he is confronted with the result of that night - his daughter Luna. Luna's mother, Elena, has escaped to an island hideaway, where she meets Carlos, step-father of a baby-sitter named Belen. A stolen night between Belen and Lorenzo is horribly interrupted by the death of the child Belen was meant to be babysitting. Guess who the child was? Luna, Lorenzo's daughter. Meanwhile, writer Lorenzo has been scripting his latest book, basing his writing on the story of his life. The climax of the film is the meeting of Lorenzo, Elena, Carlos and Lucia on the island, where the story is brought to its conclusion.
It's testimony to the skill of director Julio Medem that the viewer never loses track of this complex tale. Instead, you're sucked in and carried along on a wave of emotion and drama. This is a deeply moving, warm film that simply invites repeated viewing!

5.0 out of 5 starsA stunning film
By G. Tittley on 18 Oct. 2002
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Sex and Lucia is a powerful film exploring the differences between love and sex, licence and responsibility. The acting is superb - fresh, intelligent, adult and passionate - leagues above the Hollywood norm.
Medem's films are always interesting with their own quirky style (love it or dislike it); this is his most naturalistic film to date and very understanding of human emotions and frailties...
It has many underlying themes (moon/Luna etc) and symmetries that all come together into a very satisfying whole.
I loved it and found it uplifting despite its dark moments.
