Artistic romantic and adventurous

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2020)

I have to say I can't really see myself as a Woody Allen fan but this movie is special. Maybe storywise it's too simple, two girls falling in love with the same man during vacation, but the acting in this movie is too poweful, casual when it needs, erotic during romantic moments and Penelope Cruz giving everything on her role for a memorable performance. It's not a movie you will get life lessons, not a movie you will be amazed by the complexity and the clever story, it's an atmospheric movie to create an erotic and artistic mood. I think Javier Bardem is just wonderful in this one, playing a seductive and messed up artist, he really gives depth to the character with his acting. The general feeling is pretty good, a nice, different, but still casual movie to experience something different but not too philosophical. The nice feel of a romantic experience without the cliche theme, or the usual realism, just a fun adventure of love in Barcelona.
