A triumph for Woody Allen's filmography!!!

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2008)

"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is an eccentric film about the meaning of love, which builds an entertaining scenery for open-minded movie-goers, but fails to impress as much as Allen's most acclaimed work. Outstanding performances, mostly by Spanish actors Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz make burn the screen. However, once again, like in almost every other film by this filmmaker, the real star is the story itself. Then, Woody Allen consolidates as the greatest screenwriter in American cinema history.
The film provides a twisted and unconventional look of human relationships, and is joined by a hilarious narrative and joyful music, as well as beautiful pictures of the European city where it is located. Undoubtlessly, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a film to celebrate, and a triumph for Woody Allen's career. For sure, it's the healthiest Woody we've seen in the last decade, one that dares to make this film a whole new vision of human feelings and the ways people react to the ups and downs of life.
