And the last photo we bring you from Festival De Cannes, is our first official look at Woody Allen’s next film Vicky Cristina Barcelona about two young American women, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), who come to Barcelona for a summer holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. In Barcelona, they’re drawn into a series of unconventional romantic entanglements with Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a charismatic painter, who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife Maria Elena (Penélope Cruz). Of course, all of this is set against the luscious Mediterranean sensuality of Barcelona. The official plot synopsis lists a 96 minute running time and calls the movie “Woody Allen’s funny and open-minded celebration of love in all its configurations…”

Kind of reminds me of the Mosquito Coast with Harrison Ford.

It has long struck me that Barcelona would serve as the perfect Euro backdrop for American film makers inspired by such places. It has been vastly underused throughout the years in favor of Paris. I know we have seen Barcs in film before but speaking as an American that has made 6 European trips, the Catalan capital should add lust and luster to Allen’s work
