That is the premise of the previous post. Indeed, that is even more. I never posted a comment on an Allen film, although you love him and I know all 36 of his films, not because I would not have anything to say, but rather because he talks too much and eventually I realize that this is not the suitable location.
I try with his new job, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" which miraculously retained the original title even we, unlike the previous work and saw the beautiful turn mythological title, "Cassandra's Dream" nell'insulso "Cassandra's Dream ".
London should inspire thoughts with Allen much to bring blacks to investigate the dark side of the human soul with the trilogy of crimes, including murder, tortured and sins choices to share with. A Barcelona but it does not rain, everything is solar, and even the pen of the author's New York becomes lighter. Well, almost. Meanwhile, it must be said that this film is not as if they had never seen before in his filmography (and this is, no matter what, a good).
of romantic comedies aimed at investigating various aspects of human relations has always turned to Allen, but there is a lightness and freshness in the way the story is told that is not found in any other work. Helps the narrator (a bit 'too present to tell the truth) that gives the film a tone from lighthearted tale from rissunto holidays. Some critics
photography "tourist" in which Allen presents Barcelona to London than the last film. But it is an absurd criticism, precisely because they are two American tourists visiting the city featured in the film and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Barcelona sun, warm and postcard, is the land on which the lives of the two girls are disrupted for some time. It is no coincidence that the film opens with the girls leaving the airport and ends with the two falling in the airport, opening and closing brackets so their Catalan.
The idea of travel as a form of self-analysis, Allen had already used in the past, see the masterpiece "Deconstructing Harry" in which the protagonist re-run itself on its way to the university where he received an award (by analogy with "Wild Strawberries "Bergman). On this trip, the one where Allen wants to focus more is the freedom of feelings and particularly common error to label not only others but also themselves, giving each of the specific characteristics, without having the knowledge that in fact accurate and safe there's never anything. Vicky Cristina fact is that they return to New York with some doubt and more especially with the new "self" within themselves where they did not exist. Vicky would never have imagined being able to question his beliefs and Cristina probably remain a question in mind "If it were not for Maria Elena, I could have a stable relationship?" and with knowledge of a talent that he thought he had, looking like this in a while 'to Joey's "Interiors" he felt he had within him a lot to give but did not find the right way to express it.
The fulcrum on which rotates the self-analysis of the two girls is Juan Antonio. Free, tormented, instinctive, but at the same time emotional and mature, is a fascinating character as a bit 'too stereotyped image of the beautiful art embodies the classic English sexy and dark. But every character is a successful way that he completed his task, which attract Vicky and Cristina (and us viewers) and bring them to question themselves and their beliefs.
is not a film about a love triangle, as doggedly banal and continue to say the critics, but it is a film about the breaking of conventions in love. The menage a trois, one between Johansson-Cruz-Bardem is a small part of history and is a symbol of that quest for freedom and love of experimentation behind the film, but eventually becomes too much even for the passionate Cristina. It 's a theme that we have already seen in the films of Allen, but always in quite marginal. But here is more thorough finding its focus in the dialogue between Vicky, Cristina and Doug, her boyfriend still in the old style traditional ties and loves to categorize people and situations and that's just Cristina talks about the bond that is established with Maria Elena immediately asks "So you're bisexual?".
also directed by Allen is different. Decrease the sequences, the camera is firmer than usual and even dialogues are rich in tension, as those who see the presence of Maria Elena, were shot more often in the field and reverse, which is quite unusual for Woody Allen, who instead prefers to turn a few takes, camera steady and actors in that are never still in one spot. Here are the actors in the service of the camera.
Allen has always been in love stories free. Free from the patterns of narrative. He always preferred stories in which he could afford the freedom to jump from one part of history, to include flashbacks or dreams in the middle of the story, to show what happened or what might have happened without many thoughts. And a story like this, narrated by a voiceover, it would seem ideal for this kind of narrative approach, and instead the author maintains a degree of linearity of the thread of events by including a flashback scene only in the darkroom. It 'an interesting approach probably intended to preserve the idea of \u200b\u200bthe trip, the visit to Barcelona with its end and a beginning and that involve a change of the two American tourists. Allen also lightens the tone of his dialogues, erasing all traces of his characteristic humor and adapting all the style of the film. Critics are there to count how many beats there are in his last film, and if they are not pan the film. Absurd.
"Vicky Cristina Barcelona marks Allen's return to the analysis of the relationship, after observing the two-dimensionality of life in" Melinda and Melinda "and, in many respects, the relationship between man and murder, among 'man and his dark side in "Match Point, "" Scoop "and" Cassandra's Dream. "End the tour with a European film enjoyable, leaving food for thought and gives a breath of sunshine welcome.
Good cast, especially Rebecca Hall and Penelope Cruz. Johansson is so sexy and full of the "fleshy humidity" as Woody calls it, but I still do not look that great as an actress. Bardem Bardem is not at issue here is even if "only" the Latin male.
Skip a movie and now (at least I) look forward to the other that not only will mark the return of Allen in front of the room, but also in his Manhattan. We will see what you bring back in the Big Apple from the Old Continent.
