Sex and Lucia (2002) ***1/2



Honestly, I am not quite sure how I should describe my experience of watching this film. It is like a chameleon, showing different colors in disguise at different time points just to mystify your minds and then catch you off-guard.

It is fair to say that the movie started with some great shots. The suspense mingled with sadness perpetuated the first 15 minutes of this film. As the story unfolds, the sex scenes became a little bit sticky and salty, as the movie tried to associate the sex with food first and guilt later.

All the metaphores in this movie became less and less impressive near the end of the movie. Surprisingly, the ending has achieved some sort of reconciliation and salvation with peace. Maybe that is exactly the intention of the filmmakers.
