As a young college student, I wouldn't claim to have watched Woody Allen's entire ouevre, but from the twenty or so that I've seen, some I've liked, some I haven't liked, some I loved, and some I wish I didn't waste my money with, but this movie seems to be unlike anything he's done, while being so similiar to all of his films. The dramatic display, the performance he gets from the actors, is so spot on, it is no wonder the film won best comedy at the Golden Globes. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is on first viewing, a travel film. Two young American women who fall for the same spaniard painter Juan Antonio (played by Javier Bardem). Vicky (Played by Rebecca Hall in an amazing performance), is engaged to be married, likes responsibility, and doesn't like something that effects the norm, finds herself alone with the painter when Cristina--who was first drawn to the painter--gets sick, and they share a night together. She says nothing however and the two women go back to Vicky's Aunt's house, where they are staying. They don't hear from Juan Antonio for some days, and when they do, he calls for Cristina. Cristina (wild, artistic bohemian, played by Scarlett Johansen in such an erotic and beautiful performance) is instantly taken and starts a relationship. Unlike many American/Hollywood movies, Vicky neither shows bitterness nor anger, though some despondency. What seems like a tamed love story that you begin to wonder where it will go, quickly becomes something completely different. One night, Maria Elena (Juan Antonio's ex-wife, played by Penelope Cruz, with a fierceness that deserved the Golden Globe Nom) tries to commit suicide, and Juan Antonio picks her up from the hospital and brings her home. Without revealing too much, the film begins to become male fantasy, and a meditation on art and connection and friendship and self-discovery. On the second viewing, you start to pick up the subtleness of the cogitation on love and romance, the possibilities and restraints of romantic love (unrequited love is the only form of romantic love) as the movie espouses, for neither Juan Antonio nor Maria Elena can stand each other, but then neither can they stay away from each other for long (odds are, and you might get this feeling also) they'll probably one day end up killing each other. On a third viewing the film becomes a meditation on art, on beauty, on how those two things coincide with love. The tears from the Spanish Guitar, the emotion driven upward from the playing of such gentle music. Vicky can be seen reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (the book is on her bedside table), and Cristina can be seen reading Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer. The voice over, this has been a point of discontent for some on the message boards on IMDB. This voice over, some say, shows what a hack Woody Allen has become. But I must disagree. The Voice over I believe aides in the story, it describes in a flat tone sometime the most erotic of scenes, but this aides in keeping us grounded in the story of the girls, and not in the lust, or sexuality that's portrayed in the film. It helps develope and move away from American Travel movies, away from the actual events, and allows you to remember to watch the girls, watch their lives, watch the film, and not get drawn away into your own imaginations. I believe the narrator was used much more effectively than it was in Little Children. It also helps you understand where you are in the movie, through this foreign country, and gives the feel of a book. This movie may very well be my favorite Woody Allen film, with some excelent performances as only Woody Allen could pull from an actress (what director in the world has gotten fifteen nomination for writing--two wins--sixteen of their actors nomination for acting--five wins--and six for best direction--one win). It was funny, romantic, intellectually stimulating, and each viewing there's something new. If you like Woody Allent, I do believe you will like this movie, and I do believe you will adore these characters. For me, still in my twenties, an artist with large aspirations, in a moderately upper middle class family, this film seems to be made exactly for me. Besides Adaptation and Wonder Boys, I haven't felt like that about a movie, and I go to see one to three movies a week--not to mention rentals and old buys. So I feel I have a certain credibility to my opinion--but again, it is only my opinion. I say buy it, if you don't like it, give it to someone who is the exact opposite of you, give it to your Cristina (we all have a friend that's exactly opposite of us and so much the same), and maybe you will be giving them a film that they can love as much I love it. Review: Woody Allen does Spain! - Scarlet Johansson stars in this post college jaunt to Spain accompanied by her undergraduate roommate. They are romanced by a local artist and his explosive ex wife whose exploits are set to the tune of American expats idillic Spanish lifestyles. It’s beautiful, it’s funny and wildly sexually explicit. Don’t miss this great Woody Allen film. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,094 Reviews | | Format | DVD, NTSC, PAL | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04010324037312 | | Language | English, German | | Number Of Discs | 1 | ## Images ![Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618NkQtP8qL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Movie *by C***R on January 27, 2009* I think has a special ressonance for me, as both a writer, and a traveler.

They are romanced by a local artist and his explosive ex wife whose exploits are set to the tune of American expats idillic Spanish lifestyles. It’s beautiful, it’s funny and wildly sexually explicit. Don’t miss this great Woody Allen film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Movie not you normal cup of coffee. *by D***Y on May 2, 2018* This movie is a clear exposé of human sexual nature. Here we have the old lady married with a lover on the side, just keeping the typical monogamous marriage institution alive, on one side the moral lady and inside the natural woman. We have the typical American girl Vicky that is engaged and want to fulfill her American Upper Class societal role that succumbs to nature. You have the typical free and carefree societal American Butterfly, Cristina) that is experimenting life and has no moral issues whatsoever. On the European side we have Javier Barden the typical Dalí reincarnated and Penelope Cruz, a neurotic extremely explosive Spanish Artist. That as a matter of fact acts more as the typical Latina or Spanish wife than a exwife. In here you see a rare thing, the effects of power transfer and power stacking that happens is a Ménage a Trois. You se the forbidden fruit of a open poly relation that only lasted a moon cycle. The movie explores the hypocrisy of our social arrangements and the cost of marrying the wrong person! Maybe happiness lies in the freedom to be able to have whatever you might want. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/509510864-vicky-cristina-barcelona](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/509510864-vicky-cristina-barcelona) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
