This is not a sad movie

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2009)

It's awesome how Allen achieves to display such sad, intense, and disturbing plot as a light and even curious turn of events. I personally disagree in labeling this movie as a sad one. Even though we can find polygamist relationships and a lot of insanity it's easy to identify with all four of the characters at at some point.
The result: we can find ourselves comfortable with a natural search for stability. Confortable with jealousness and desire of monogamy. Confortable with the need of passion in life brought by new feelings and experiences. Enchanting and infinite number of possible combinations can be made from this characters.
We won't find as much great long dialogues as we can in other Allen's films. However we'll end up loving the description of Barcelona and the attempt of falling for the "Catalan Identity" through the film.
