Film: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Love, lust and intrigue against the sun-drenched backdrop of Barcelona.

Woody Allen uses narration to move the pace along pretty quickly and keep us attentive. It totally works. The film is a delightful basket full of wine, Spanish guitar,laziness, craziness, profound purpose and sexual intrigue.

I am a fan of Woody Allen and I think that his storytelling is so beautifully intricate and seamless. He has produced some of the most humorous scenarios and witty dialogues I have seen on the big screen.

What really impressed me about this film was ART!

The way Allen uses art in this film is masterful. It's not just about the painting, photography, music or writing, but also the way he captures the feelings and thoughts of the artists/characters.

AND, i found my DREAM HOUSE and lifestyle in the film!

Oh, for sure the color scheme of nature colors contributes a lot to the relaxing mood. It's eye pleasing and comfort.
