But when she goes to a rock concert with Pablo, a friend of the family, he introduces Lulu to her first sexual experience. The only point to be made successfully by THE AGES OF LULU is that human beings appear to have an unlimited capacity to degrade and destroy the gift of sexuality. Fifteen-year-old Lulu has never known any affection from her family. Also true to the spirit of pornography, character development in this film is nonexistent, dialogue is minimal and music seems to have been piped in from the nearest elevator.

THE AGES OF LULU MOVIE
Full of explicit sexual perversion, horrifying and degrading sexual abuse, rape, nudity, obscenity, and profanity, this film is nothing more than an attempt to disguise pornography as serious drama. A groundbreaking novel of sexual exploration, The Ages of Lulu sparked international controversy and was an overnight sensation when it was first published in Spain fifteen years ago.

Reported to be a great commercial success in Europe, THE AGES OF LULU is purely pornography in all of its stupid, pointless and degrading excesses, a non-story of relentless abuse of the human body and spirit.
