Woody Allen is film lovers wet dream or worst nightmare. He started hes career somewhere in the early 50s. It would take very long time to see all hes work. Allen is a genius no doubt about that but he haven't been any personal favourite of mine. Until i stumbled over Vicky Christina Barcelona(2008) with Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Scarlet Johansson and Rebecca Hall.
It is a story about two American girls spending summer in Spain. The movie has a lovely soundtrack but what makes the film special is how Allen describes women. Penélope Cruz as obsessive, passioned and little bit crazy artist Maria Elena. Scarled Johansson as Christina who doesn't seem to have any passions, perfect example of person who easily tries new things out but abandons them after a while. These kind of people never can be happy cause they are searching something all the time. Rebecca Hall as Vicky seems to be reasonable and planing to get married and settle down. Three different women. Why do i see my self in all of them?
Just kill a bottle of cheap Spanish red wine and enjoy the summer in Barcelona with Vicky and Christina!
