dave s @RT68722908 01/10/2023 After the apparent suicide of her boyfriend, Lucia (Paz Vega) escapes to a desolate Spanish island where she attempts to put the pieces of her broken life back together. Sex and Lucia is an often beautiful and sometimes confounding film about loss, love, the horror of mental illness, and recovery, filled with symbolism, brutal coincidence, and plenty of insight into the creative process. Granted, the movie does feel muddled and more than a little confusing at times and many shots are horribly overexposed, perhaps intentionally, but the film is surprisingly life-affirming for those who stick it out until the end… and is surprisingly sexy when considering the subject matter.

That was a very sexy movie, and a better one than "Sex and Lucia". Overly complicated. ambiguous, vague, and frustrating, I found myself too often perplexed and even bored at times by a movie with this much lovely flesh and sex. I've read that the director talked of writing a screenplay, then a novel, then the novel into the screenplay...He seemed to want to simply engage us more than anything, freeing the characters with an absurd sense of plot to absorb our attention. The scenes/parts work well enough individually, rather like chapters in that novel. But it comes off as, well, rather novel in the other sense of that word. The film seems to turn itself inside out and start again. Still, there is some good acting from Vega and a couple of others to go with the absurdity and the blatant nudity. 2.9 stars See more 04/05/2021 The aesthetic and the sex are the main characters of the movie, embodied (though not entirely) by the main character, and it is through her and other characters that we understand that in the end sex is more complex than the act itself, and that sex through its absence but also its presence can lead to isolation, literally in this case, and that maybe being alone can be okay too if you know how to do it.
