Vicky y Cristina son dos jóvenes norteamericanas que van a Barcelona a pasar unas vacaciones de verano. Vicky es sensible, racional y tiene intención de casarse; Cristina es apasionada y busca aventuras emocionantes; en realidad, no sabe muy bien lo que quiere, pero sabe perfectamente lo que no quiere. En Barcelona, ambas se ven envueltas en una relación poco convencional con Juan Antonio, un conocido pintor vinculado sentimentalmente a su tempestuosa exmujer María Elena. (Warner Bros. España)

Woody Allen presenta un pozo sin fondo de ideas, motivos y pensamientos. Todo mérito, a su edad, mantener el listón tan alto como hace veinte, treinta años. En tres de sus últimas cuatro películas, eché de menos a algunos de los personajes principales, pero al pensarlo, en Vicky Cristina Barcelona no pudo haber interpretado ningún personaje. Por lo tanto, se centró completamente en los demás y es una elección perfecta, todos los actores encajan maravillosamente en sus roles, los personajes también están muy bien desarrollados, lo que nos muestra Woody una amplia gama de características, sentimientos y acciones, de los cuales al menos uno o una cada uno de nosotros ha experimentado en carne propia. Es difícil clasificar Vicky Cristina Barcelona en términos de género, cuando pienso en Match Point, me viene a la mente un thriller emocionante, Cassandra's Dream - un drama trágico, Scoop - una comedia clásica de Woody, pero con Vicky Cristina Barcelona vacilo entre una comedia amarga, un análisis triste de las relaciones amorosas y una tragicomedia. Definitivamente me dejó con una sensación muy especial y fortaleció la posición de Woody en mi lista personal de directores, él ocupa el primer lugar y luego, durante mucho, mucho tiempo, no hay nadie más.

A living classic set off to warm his bones under the Catalonian sun to make his old-man’s wet dream come true. And because he’s no jerk, he eagerly shares full screen footage of Scarlett’s nipples (*glurp*), Penelope’s butt (yum!), Rebecca’s thighs and Bardem’s five o’clock shadow (wowie) with the public... Oh but, no, no, that neurotic miser only shares the thighs and the five o’clock shadow. But really, in places it’s so hot that, despite it being the beginning of a damp and drizzly fall, I recommend you wear summer clothes when you watch this. This applies mainly for those who can boast chromosome Y in their genetic makeup. And how Bardem organizes his household is priceless. But it wouldn’t be a Woody Allen movie of past years without one big “but". A kind of nothing intro. It’s just too sleepy summer like. It requires María Elena to plunge in and save the movie. Personally I was also upset that the two best characters (Juan’s father and María Elena) are criminally kept in the background. Overall, no miracle to be penned into the master’s filmography in gold lettering, but excellent as relaxing summer entertainment.

Only unfulfilled love can be romantic. During the trailer, I was in anxious anticipation; at the first reviews unexpectedly branding the film with the stamp of funniest movie of the year, I blinked in surprise; during the film, I didn't even breathe. And then I cursed the reviews. This is no comedy, and indeed in my mind is nowhere near one. Not that there is a complete lack of humor, but in several places I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was watching Match Point for the second time around – this time written in a much more positive mood. Woody Allen's experimentation should never end (if possible). Thanks to Spain, everything is intimately familiar and yet brilliantly new. When the uncompromising artist Javier Bardem steps up to the table, a hint of the coming symbolism of partnership can be sensed, but it was only when the fascinating intimacy began to unfold that I realized what a unique work I had come across. Because I didn't see pure romance anymore, Woody probably has his ultra-happy endings definitively behind him. And at the same time, I didn't see a hint of cynicism, just the suppression of idealism and the inevitable acquisition of a certain perspective. Thanks to this, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is enjoyed the most by those romantics who have already been burned. Those sweetly hopeful should rather wait a few more years alongside Hana and her sisters.

In his old age, Woody Allen somehow caught a new artistic vibe and can surprise with at least every other film he churns out at a machine gun pace. After his film Match Point, this is the second film I've seen in a short time where I had a hard time finding his typical style. For a long time, essentially for the entire first half of the film, I couldn't immerse myself in it, but with every passing minute, this Boccaccio-esque tangle of relationships and love passions got to me more and more. Unlike his older comedies, Allen reduced his typical dialogue banter, omitted the character of a neurotic intellectual, and focused on a group of people who have problems with their emotions and long for something that is currently out of their reach. The infidelities, seductions, rejections, and sufferings are presented convincingly and have charm, especially when they form a remarkable polygon. It may not be the pinnacle of Allen's work, but Vicky Cristina Barcelona definitely belongs to the better things he has created. Overall impression: 80%.

Actually, the Spanish atmosphere definitely saved the film. The screenplay is quite interesting, but on the other hand an "Italian relationship" is also nothing new. What's much more original is that they get a beautiful blonde girl involved. And instead of their relationship falling apart, it balances it out. The beautiful blonde is a great actress, by the way! Oh, and to make matters worse, we have the ordinary Vicky, who doesn't actually do anything throughout the film. A film you only have to see once. 3.5 stars.
