Lucia, Lucia
Directed by and adapted for the screen by Antonio Serrano
Based on the book 'Hija del Canibal' by Rosa Montero (Daughter of the Cannibal)
2003
This movie uses a detective mystery concerning the lead character's missing husband to explore the middle aged angst of a creative soul. Like Almodovar the director, Antonio Serrano, captures feminine neuroses with incredibly accuracy. At times it all seems a bit soap operaish, but don't let that distract your attention, there is something very real going on here.
