Las edades de Lulú (Bigas Luna, 1990)

The story of a young woman's descent into the kinky and dangerous sexual underground in Madrid.



The sexual experiences of the insatiable and ever more kinky temptress Lulu (Francesca Neri) are chronicled in this virtually plotless film. In the story, Lulu marries the American professor who first seduced her at age fifteen in a car (of course). She tires of hanging out with him and begins seeking sex of all kinds, hanging out in some pretty seedy places in the process. Along the way, she has intimate encounters with male homosexuals, transvestites, and indulges in a bit of sadomasochism. This film made a big splash in Spain while it was being produced because the first woman who was offered the lead (Angela Molina) quite publicly refused it, for (obvious) reasons that spurred interest in the final production.
