The Ages of Lulu Reviews

Honestly, I'm not really knowledgeable about Spanish cinema. I mean, I have seen my share of Pedro Almodovar features but I'm rather oblivious concerning the other movies made there. I have seen also a few movies directed by Bigas Luna who might not have such an prestigious international reputation like Almodovar but his work is really interesting nonetheless. His most famous movie must be 'Jamón, jamón', a rather erotic flick starring a very young Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem almost 20 years before they became an item. So, this other movie was also directed by Bigas Lunas, and even though it was not as good as 'Jamón, jamón', it was still pretty good in my opinion. Basically, it is another intriguing erotic drama even though it was nothing really original, to be honest. Still, the directing was pretty good and the actors were definitely convincing. It is also interesting to note that it features Javier Bardem's acting debut, unfortunately in a very small part. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it still remains a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Spanish movies.
