Director: Woody Allen

Cast: Rebecca Hall/Scarlett Johansson/Javier Bardem/Penélope Cruz/Chris Messina

The film is entitled with “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”. A combination of three names, of which two are woman and one, is city. So you’ve already known it’s about two women’s story in Barcelona. Also, you can’t miss María Elena, the third woman in the story. To tell the truth, I just can’t get all three beauties out of my mind after watching it.

Woody Allen surely knows lots about woman for he created such lively and convincing female characters in his film. Female is more expressive than man.
