| Sex and Lucia (2001)
|
|
|
Not Rated
|
|
|
|
| Basque writer/director Julio Medem is one of Spain's best. Lucia y el Sexo: a story within a story, hot sex, outstanding cinematography and music (Alberto Iglesias, of course). Can't wait for his latest documentary on the Basque region. |
| Tierra (1996)

Not Rated

| Some of Julio Medem's early work. Other suggestions (vhs only): "The Red Squirrell" '93 and "The Lovers of the Artic Circle" '98. |

| Alejandro Amenábar writes/directs/scores most of his films. The Others: well written, suspenseful, great cinematography. |
| Thesis (1996)

| About a snuff video, able to create some suspence, not bad for young Amenábar. |

| Isabel Coixet. Good idea, but ends up been too manipulative for my taste. |
