In a magnificent return to form, Woody Allen wields his razor sharp wit to observe modern relationships in a gloriously romantic setting.

Two young American women, best friends Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), go to Barcelona for the summer. As told by a narrator (Christopher Evan Welch), Vicky is practical and traditional in her approach to love and commitment and is engaged to the reliable but unromantic Doug (Chris Messina), while Cristina is spontaneous and unsure of what she wants from life.

When the two women meet the charming, mysterious and rich painter Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) he proposes they all go away for the weekend together and things start to simmer. Enter Penelope Cruz as Juan’s ex-wife and the thermostat is turned to boiling point. The choices they make and opportunities they take will turn all their lives upside down.

With a finely nuanced script, a frisson of sexual chemistry between the characters, vibrant cinematography and top-notch performances all-round, this is a modern classic. Woody Allen, the perceptive, intelligent examiner of the human heart, is back.

What the Critics say!

“Bardem … eats this role up like it was a hot fudge sundae”
– Los Angeles Times

“Penelope Cruz is a firecracker and her performance sizzles with suppressed (and, at times, not-so-suppressed) sexuality.”
James Berardinelli – Reelviews

“Allen’s sexiest movie ever”
– Rolling Stone
