9. The Ages of Lulu (1990)
The Ages of Lulu follows one woman from her teenage years into her adult life. It is the story of her sexual awakening, voyage into the world of different sexual practices and her violation of sexual taboos. Directed by Bigas Luna - the lusty Spanish director - The Ages of Lulu certainly goes full on in the sex depiction stakes. Virginity loss, cunnilingus, anal sex, Transexual sex, incest, homosexuality, menages a trois, pubic hair shaving. Basically the whole nine yards! The character of Lulu is never really developed so when bad stuff starts happening to her, we have no emotional investment in it. The film is really just an excuse to pitch as much kinky sex onto the screen as possible which is fine if you want a cheap thrill, it is very explicit and delivers the goods. As an exercise in debauchery it works, but do we give two figs about Lulu? No. She's a selfish sex crazed nympho. PS watch out for Javier Bardem in an early ill advised role.
