Dedalus in Motion
If you haven't seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona, you should do so. I'm not the biggest fan of Woody Allen; I find he often ruins his own work by casting himself... He doesn't make that mistake this time, and creates an authentic story of amusing romance that also serves as a precise dissection of romantic love in the modern world. While Allen's film falls neatly into the most common attribute of romantic comedy (at least one half of the love interest being rich...), it breaks the mold in every other way.
See my full review here.
I watched it again last night, and realized something I hadn't before - its magnificent soundtrack! Composed of 11 tracks by 8 magnificent spanish guitarists, it's as romantic as the images of Barcelona in the film are warm.
Check it out, but beware: you'll be singing "Barcelooonaaaa" (#1 - by Giulia y Los Tellarini) for hours after listening...
