Vicky Christina Barcelona
In this Woody Allen-directed movie, actors Rebecca Hall (Vicky), Scarlett Johansson (Christina), Penelope Cruz (Elena) and Javier Bardiem (Juan Antonio) ignite the screen in this twisted, movie about open-minded love. Juan, a painter just getting over a divorce, invites Christina, who just film documentaries about how hard it is to find love and his ex-wife Elena to participate in a threesome after meeting at an art gallery: "Life is short and full of pain," he candidly explains, "and this is a chance for something special," he declares. Be careful what you wish for holds true here as the affair unleashes the bipolar antics of Elena. (What ex-wife back dips and doesn't feel a sense of envy when someone new enters the picture?) The movie takes some predictable and somewhat boring turns, but seeing Cruz and real-life love interest Bardiem deliver such stellar performances make it worth giving up 96 minutes of your life.
