In "Lucia, Lucia," a man's disappearance leads his wife into a midlife crisis and all kinds of intrigue involving gangsters, crooked cops, an aging political lefty and a 25-year-old cutie hot to slip into her bed. While midlife-crisis movies can't help covering the same territory more or less, by mixing in such shady and fascinating characters, this Mexican comedy gives the genre a real kick in the pants. Featuring Goya Award-winning actress Cecilia Roth, star of five of Pedro Almodovar's films, "Lucia, Lucia" (known as "La Hija Del Canibal" or "The Cannibal's Daughter" in its native land) did extremely well in Mexico earlier this year and should perform admirably in art house venues for Fox Searchlight.
