Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I watched this film last night, I've been meaning to for a while but the illness gave me a prompt as I was in bed all day. It was a great film, it's narrated throughout by a guy, he tells you things about the girls' past, their personality, and at times, how they are feeling and what they're thinking. It's a very passionate film, focusing on love and relationships, but also art and culture. Wine is present in almost every scene, but it is Spain. It delves into issues of the heart, relationships, love and lust. Juan Antonio is the Spanish heart throb who is central to the plot. It's a very interesting film and I recommend it.

I loved it because they filmed in a bar where my friend and I went (where my camera got broke and I drank 5 too many Mojito's) and also Cristina takes photo's of Penelope Cruz's character in front of a shutter with graffiti all over it, which is the EXACT same shutter and EXACT same thing my friend and I did. Pretty cool.

Now I desperately want to go back to Barcelona, take photographs on an old film camera, have sex on kitchen floors and drink fine wine. x.
