Woody Allen is still an old theme, satirizing the boring and dull life of the middle class, and exploring the love life. Whether his film is set in New York, London, or Barcelona, it is actually a bit stereotyped.
This time, he continues his discussion of love and life, passion and plainness, with a tone of adolescence anxiety, and once again ends with no results.
In fact, the real story is not in Barcelona. Personally, Barcelona is really unable to represent Spain, just as Catalonia has always been outside Spain. But the director still embeds representative elements: Gaudi, painting, guitar; wine, beauty, beauty...
Since I just watched "Burn After Reading" the day before, this film was immediately compared... Penelope Cruz is still very strong! This film has not been ordinary since she debuted. No wonder this Oscar has only one nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
