"Life is the ultimate work of art"

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
Directed by Woody Allen, PG-13 rated, 96 minutes

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is smart and passionate romantic drama about two young women on vacation in Barcelona who meet, and both fall in love with, a Spanish painter whose ex-wife is about to show up in their lives. Javier Bardem is alluring and oddly charming in a role perfect for him, and Penelope Cruz is diabolically funny and sexy as his ex-wife. Woody Allen proves once again that he can craft realistic and lovable characters, and provide potent and memorable dialogue for them. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is an unconventional romantic film. that does away with the cliches and tells an engaging but in some ways sad love story. You'll like it if: You like romantic comedies, Woody Allen's films, Penelope Cruz, Before Sunrise, Magnolia or Broken Flowers.
