The film Vicky Cristina Barcelona was another of the great masterpieces of Woody Allen, director for whom I abandoned the philosophy of "enough cinema until the price decreases" and I ran to see him. Woody Allen rarely makes a mistake, and again he didn't disappoint me.
Without talking about the plot of the film which for those who saw it would be a repetition and on the contrary for those who have to enjoy it a useless malice, I will talk about locations of the film. As the title suggests, almost the entire film is set in the city of Barcelona, with some scenes in Oviedo and Aviles.
A Barcelona the film begins with a shot of the Columbus monument, one of the landmarks of the beautiful Spanish city. For those who have already visited Barcelona it is not difficult to see corners and symbols of the city such as the Joan Miro Foundation Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell and Pedrera.
Woody Allen retraces all the symbolic places of Barcelona and then focuses on other less known details. Among these, the great must be resounded Tibidabo amusement park or Olympic Port or theBarcelona airport.
The director's attention turns to two other cities, gradually leaving the confusing metropolitan life for the quieter one Oviedo. Among the scenes that are shown here are also the most romantic of the whole film those between Javier and Rebecca, the brunette friend of Scarlett Johansson. The portraits of the sea and the lighthouse in the background or the place where the two watch the flamenco show were actually shot 35 kilometers from Oviedo, Aviles.
