USA vs. Europe

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 2008)

Woody Allen has moved and he obviously intends to stay in this Europe which fascinates him. Maybe a little too much. And that also goes for the girl characters here, Vicky and Cristina, who becomes engaged in this foreign world. And also foreign love.
As always Allen uses his old tricks which you never get tired of. That means his funny dialog, mocking with intellectuals and still loving them. This could be just another Allen movie, if it wasn't for the great Penelope Cruz, who enters like a violent tornado and shakes everybody's lives.
A little too much respect for "European" ways and "European" love, whatever that is. But you're never bored and never will be bored from an Allen movie.
