Love, pain and the tricky workings of the human heart are all familiar subjects for Woody Allen but the move to Spain has put an extra spring in his step. Friends Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) are Americans who have decided to spend the summer in Barcelona.
Cristina is a free spirit open to any possibility. Vicky is sensible, cautious and soon to be married. Then the duo meet Spanish painter Antonio (Javier Bardem),
a silver-tongued charmer who immediately invites them to join him for a romantic weekend. The temptation to accept is irresistible.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona is pure pleasure and finds Allen back on top form. It is smart, sunny, frisky and extremely funny.
96 minutes, dir. Woody Allen, released 2008.
