Lucia (1968)
8/10
Love, War, and Revolution
22 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The super dramatic high contrast of the black and white cinematography during the final scene of the first story, capturing the dramatic moment of Lucia stabbing the man who betrayed her for the sake of war, seem to balance each other out in one of the many breathtakingly beautiful shot scenes in this under seen film. The first story is shot best I think, but the entire picture is almost all visually stunning for the most part.

During the third story, Tomas is at a rally listening to a woman speak about how wives should not be jealous when a comrades sister or "some hussy" flirts with their husband. Its "the wrong attitude" for the revolution. Tomas applauds in agreement, despite his entire story revolving around his toxic jealously and controlling behavior.

I referred to it as under seen because as of today, it only has 1,059 votes and the last review is from 11 years ago.

Its better to watch and experience this for yourself rather than reading too much about it, so I'll stop there as I believe the movie speaks for itself.
