With the recent release of Spanglish, the rest of America is going to find out about Paz Vega. I feel fortunate to have discovered her in Sex and Lucia, and she quickly became one of my favorite women to watch in the world. But enough about me.
This was a great film. I loved it for its uninhibited sexuality, and superb acting. Despite my infatuation with Paz Vega, I clearly recognize that the movie's best acting performance comes from Tristan Ulloa, who beautifully plays Lorenzo. I found myself angry with him for most of the movie, but eventually he finds his way into your heart, mostly perhaps as a result of his interaction with Luna - especially in the bedtime story scene.
I know, I know - the REALLY sexy scenes were played by Spanish porn actors. Big deal; Paz is still absolutely gorgeous, and don't think I am not in love with Najwa Nimri too!
Again, enough about me.
The sex is the overcoating of the movie, but the storyline and plot are great as well. Indeed, the first time I saw the movie, I was so distracted by the sex that I had to watch it a second time to clean up my interpretation mistakes so I completely understood the plot line. I wouldn't call it overwhelmingly complex, but it did take some thought. So if you watched this once and ended up scratching your head about a few things, try watching it again.
