Lucia y el Sexo

Has sex ever been this beautifully filmed? There is an opening seen shot in the water that may be the most beautiful sex scene I have ever seen. While at least one scene later in the film seems to stand in stark contrast to this beauty. Sex – in different forms, for different reasons is central to the heart of Lucia y el Sexo. One part erotically charged love story, and two parts search for truth, with a plot that is near labyrinthine. Lucia y el Sexo isn't shallow but it doesn't go as deep as it could. It is a movie about sex, relationships, forgiveness, and the question of how much someone is worth in your life.
