Directed by Woody Allen • 2008 • Spain, United States
Starring Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Javier Bardem
Woody Allen scored one of the biggest critical and commercial hits of his career with this witty, luminous tale of art, love, and sex under the Spanish sun. Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson are the titular Americans abroad in Barcelona whose summer vacation heats up when they catch the eye of a sexy Spanish painter (Javier Bardem). What starts as a love triangle turns even more complicated when his tempestuous, emotionally volatile ex (Penélope Cruz, in a scene-stealing, Oscar-winning performance) enters the picture.
