Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:


Lorenzo: The first advantage is at the end of the story.
It doesn't finish, it falls in a hole. And the story starts
again halfway. The other advantage, and the biggest,
is that you can change course along the way...
If you let me. If you give me time.
Elena: All the time you want.

The director's cut of Julio Medem's 2001 romance Sex and Lucía, featuring a terrific performance from wildly underrated actress Paz Vega as a young waitress whose boyfriend dies and she seeks out answers about his past, is hitting blu-ray today -- you can buy it over here. I haven't seen this since it came out in 2001 but I think of it every so often and I am looking forward to revisiting it. Any fans? I have a pretty distinct memory of the actor Daniel Freire making a big impression as well...

I knew the name Paz Vega sounded familiar from somewhere, I looked the name up and I remember Spanglish. I have not seen it

I loved this movie, I will have to watch it again! It brings back memories of extreme discomfort. I happened to see this movie (and Y Tu Mama Tambien?!?) with my mother, I think I sunk as far as one can sink into a movie theater seat during the scene on the beach / rise out of the mud. LOL
