Plot
Vicky Christina Barcelona is the story of two American Twenty-Somethings, Vicky and Christina, on vacation in Barcelona for a few summer months. They fall for a hunky painter and get caught up in the sexy-violent relationship between the painter and his ex-wife.
Review
This is a relationship-based story driven by the dialog between characters in the love triangle/quadrangle. The dialog is wonderful, and the characters are are strong. There is just enough plot to keep the scenes strung together. Especially strong is Penelope Cruz who always seems like a real character and not an actress playing a role, as Scarlett Johansson seems to be.
The movie is about the compromises one makes in life between the practical and the ideal. Christina (Johansson) is the idealist, and Vicky (Hall) makes compromises that she hopes she does not regret.
