Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Leave it to Woody Allen to make a romantic comedy in which all the major players end up either single, homicidal, or trapped in safe, boring marriages. Talk about modern love! Yet, from those unlikely materials, Allen has crafted a wry and thoughtful film about the peculiar stirrings of the heart that is certainly his most accomplished piece of work since 2005’s Match Point and arguably his funniest in the eight years since Small Time Crooks. When brainy, long-legged grad student Vicky (Rebecca Hall) arrives in Barcelona on summer vacation with her blond, impetuous girlfriend Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) in tow, it’s not long before the two cross paths with the broodingly handsome painter, Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), who promptly attempts to seduce them both. For a while, Vicky Cristina Barcelona seems to be shaping up as a diverting if insubstantial bedroom farce, but it’s one of the unexpected pleasures of Allen’s film that very little is as superficial as meets the eye. A hedonist at heart, Juan Antonio turns out to have his own complexities and depth, as do his two latest conquests. Then, around an hour or so in, Penélope Cruz makes her entrance as Bardem’s erstwhile amor and muse, Maria Elena, and sets this heretofore perfectly enjoyable enterprise ablaze like a raging comic fireball. — Scott Foundas
