Whether you have decided to spend the summer at home or you\u2019ve just recently gotten back from your vacation (and returning to the everyday life was hard) we recommend spending one hot afternoon with the series of Woody Alan films, located in some of the most beautiful cities of Europe. Easy summer movies, that show only seemingly simple human stories, will take you through the streets of Paris along with the french jazz and cabaret, Rome resonating with arias like Traviata, Pagliazzi and Tosca, or Barcelona seasoned with the Spanish guitar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s exactly 10 years this summer since the movie\u00a0Vicky Cristina Barcelona<\/i>\u00a0came out. I remember how, being a great fan of Spain and Barcelona, I ran to the movies to find out what will happen with two best friends (Rebecca Hall and Scarlet Johanson) which decide to spend the summer there. The plot becomes interesting when the lead male character shows up \u2013 Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) who will completely shake up Vicky (impresionation of rationality and formalistic way of thinking) and Cristina (unconventional and adventurous). Through the entire movie, the main characters, reinforced with the fantastic Penelope Cruz (Juan Antonio\u2019s ex wife) are trying to find the answers to all the questions that are bothering\u00a0 them, at the same time pulling us into a whirlpool of interesting topics worth thinking about. Should we always listen to our inner instinct or should we succumb to socially acceptable standards? What is right and does it really exist as such? Is there a perfect emotional relationship?<\/span><\/p>\n

Every event in the movie is accompanied by the carefully chosen music numbers, which emphasize the dominant emotions of main characters. The opening theme of the movie is the peculiar\u00a0Barcelona,\u00a0<\/i>performed by an indie band\u00a0Giulia y Los Tellarini.\u00a0<\/i>This song came out in 2006. on the album\u00a0Eusebio,\u00a0<\/i>and the members of the band probably could not imagine that two years later it will take such a great part in Woody Alan\u2019s movie. One of the most impressive scenes in the movie is the one when Vicky is enchanted by the sounds of Andalusian flamenco. Everything melts and disappears with the tones of Albeniz\u2019s Asturias, and she is left lost in her own thoughts. It is interesting that this piece was originally written for piano and only later transcribed for guitar. In the\u00a0movie, the theme of\u00a0Asturias<\/i>\u00a0will become the motif of passion awakening, doubt and inconsistency.<\/span><\/p>\n
