Woody Allen left London, which was brought from the 'Match Point' in 2005, and went to conquer the new European capital. This time, he filmed guide to Barcelona, resorting to the help of the famous Spanish operator Javier Agirresarobe ( 'Talk to Her', 'Other'). Views of the cathedral Sagrada Familia and Park Gц?ell, the Spanish guitar, languid evenings, representatives of the creative bohemian, charismatic macho and passionate woman with burning eyes. All this - a contagious song 'Barcelona' local indie band 'Giulia y los Tellarini'. Without doubt, solar Barcelona is beautiful even in the most beaten-up angles. The more luxurious types of Allen enliven least luxurious girls. Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall play two American women, who spend the summer in Spain. 'Of sweets and cakes, sweets of all kinds' - that's what made both of the traveler. Their personal guide in Barcelona, becoming an artist Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), . and severity of the existence of smooth Trinity brings ex-wife of Antonio, . Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz). Expectations of 'Vicky Cristina' were largely connected with the acting ensemble, . and hardly anyone after viewing the face disappointment,
. Javier Bardem successfully solves the challenge to play a seducer, not using a single ounce of his usual charm (although after 'I'm Not There' is no stranger). Johansson appears in the familiar Role pritormozhennoy beauties in search of life's journey. Instead of Cruz in the film literally sparks scattered: it is a continuous sex, multiplied by the psychosis. On top of her heroine - artist. You can imagine what kind of pictures. Even before the release of 'Vicky Cristina' on the screens went up the hype around the love scene announced Johansson and Cruz. Not to say that people are alarmed for nothing: as promised, everything will. But Allen would not have been Allen, if not prepared for some dirty trick. He is involved in the movie voiceover (Christopher Evan Welch), which nullifies the intrigue and in the bud kills the spirit of vice. Replicas of the author or anticipate the events of the film, or sound synchronously. Due to this, any absurdity, like any commonplace, it appears normal things - and this is perhaps the best joke movie. And if the viewer, . who have not forgotten the tragic 'Cassandra's Dream', . come to mind to check the film to a depth, . he will have to rely on it, . that was not directly shown and said.

The catch is that in the film, built on the author's speech is completely absent figure of the author's. In other words, the director maintains complete neutrality, without showing any hint of his own position and no explanation as to where to start to laugh. 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' that appears to illustrate the tourist brochure, a parody of the 'troubled Anna', then something else, what has not yet come up with the correct words. Unravel all of this is also unrealistic, as the ball of cotton candy being sold in Barcelona's amusement park. And also sweet melts in front of the film, leaving behind the slightest aftertaste.
