I absolutely love this movie. It's a quirky love story, set in the gorgeous city of Barcelona.
My junior year of college, I visited Barcelona for ten days and fell head over heels in love with this mesmerizing city. A lot of my college girlfriends found themselves suffering mega crushes on Paris, but Barcelona was always more my type. This movie takes me back to that magical city, with narrow, winding streets that echo with the haunting sounds of flamenco guitar, the ostentatious beauty of Gaudi archictecture, and late wine-soaked nights spent stumbling over a language I never quite mastered, but never stopped trying.
This film is exquisite. Penelope Cruz is absolutely brilliant. I often forget what an incredible actress she is. Watching this actually put me in a mind to revisit some old Pedro Almodovar films I haven't seen in ages. I sense a Spanish revival coming our way. Uncork the rioja, whip up some tapas and join me, won't you?
