About This Movie

7 seX 7 is an intriguing piece from 2012, and it definitely carries that Croatian flavor in its storytelling. Irena Skoric's direction brings out a blend of humor and introspection, with each of the seven stories diving into the complexities of sex and relationships. What’s interesting is how the pacing shifts between the straight couples and the stories featuring a lesbian couple and a gay couple, which adds depth to the anthology. The performances are varied but generally reflect a raw, almost candid atmosphere, making it feel genuine. You get a sense of real life here, without the gloss. The practical effects are minimal, keeping the focus on the characters and their interactions, which I think is a nice touch. Overall, it’s distinctive in how it tackles its themes head-on, with a mix of lightheartedness and seriousness.
