Life is the ultimate work of art.

Vicky and Cristina are two young Americans spending the summer in Barcelona, where they stay with Judy, a distant relative of Vicky. Vicky is a practical, traditional woman engaged to Doug, a sensible and reliable man she plans to marry. Cristina, on the other hand, sees herself as a free-spirited, spontaneous girl, but she isn't sure what she wants from life or love. The two attend an art exhibition, where they meet Juan Antonio, a charismatic painter who is drawn to both of them. However, he still has a troubled relationship with his ex-wife, and that begins to complicate any possibilities. Woody Allen directs the film, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Javier Bardem, and Penélope Cruz.

Trivia about Vicky Cristina Barcelona

In 2007, the public subsidies granted to the film sparked controversy in Catalonia. The Barcelona City Council contributed one million euros and the Generalitat half a million, ten percent of the budget.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona was the third collaboration between Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson, after Match Point (2005) and Scoop (2006). Rebecca Hall had already worked with Johansson on The Prestige (2006).
The film features several paintings by Catalan artist Agustí Puig and showcases works by architect Antoni Gaudí, including Park Güell.
In Spain, it debuted in first place with 2.2 million euros in ticket sales and 351,000 viewers. Its box office performance was one of the best of Allen's career in the United States.

Quotes by Vicky Cristina Barcelona

  • Maria Elena used to say that only unfulfilled love can be romantic.
  • I'll go to your room, but you'll have to seduce me.
  • Vicky returned home to have her grand wedding to Doug. To the house they finally planned to settle in. And to lead the life she envisioned for herself, before that summer in Barcelona. Cristina continued searching... certain only, of what she didn't want.
  • We are meant for each other and not meant for each other. It's a contradiction.
  • If you don't start undressing me soon this is going to turn into a panel discussion.
  • Life is short. Life is dull. Life is full of pain. And this is a chance for something special.
