Woody Allen's latest film proved to be quite challenging in terms of providing a new perspective of the love relationships between people. What is the small ingredient that couples need to maintain a happy balance and not die of boredom? Quite a tough question, isn't it? Presumably, we did not get a straight answer from the movie, but were left with the feeling that problems never end. In addition, the city of Barcelona is also used as a character that influences and transforms the views of the rest. I think the film is beautifully shot, showing not only some main attractions, but also the small alleys of Barcelona. Regarding character development, Penelope Cruz sums it up with one sentence addressed to Scarlett Johansson - "You suffer from chronical dissatisfacion", which is in the root of all of women's actions in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Moreover, the film can be compared with Revolutionary Road, suggesting a similar theme and because the characters don't overcome their fatal flaws at the end.
Finally,I've started watching more spanish films with Javier Bardem since I saw this one and just now I realized it was him in No country for old men...
