Movie Reviews of Barcelona
Movie Review: Barcelona and the Life of a Salesman
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe sales can be a noble pursuit... maybe burgers are pretty good eats... and maybe american culture has within its fibre the white blood cells necessary to overcome family hardship, personal isolation and the disease of consumerism ... or maybe you'ld just like to see a vaunt-courier turned one-eyed seaman in a flash of bang! Well, if so, watch this movie, it makes you all cuddly inside--i watch it at least once a year. And remember, if you look at human society like an ant farm... europeans hate ants!
Summary of Barcelona
Two American cousins seek dream girls in a city where the sexual revolution is at its peak.Running Time: 101 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?053939251326 Manufacturer No:?C2513Writer and director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, The Last Days of Disco) offers up this poignant and cutting romantic 1990 comedy set in the magical southern Spanish metropolis, a city in the midst of cultural and political upheaval. Taylor Nichols (Metropolitan) plays an American living in the Catalonian capital working for a stateside company. He is visited by his unctuous cousin (Chris Eigeman), a naval attach? who's in Barcelona to spin a little public relations for the impending arrival of the U.S. fleet amid some virulent left-wing, anti-American attitude. The two cousins are constantly at odds, arguing about everything from politics to women to their true feelings for one another and their constant self-examination. Largely the two men spend their time in search of romance abroad, as they humorously overanalyze the women they meet and what they want from a relationship, until fate takes a shocking turn and both men are forced to reevaluate who they are and what they want out of life. Barcelona features a turn from Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) as a Spanish national working as a hostess, free with her sexuality and smitten with Eigeman. Stillman's writing is as crisp and observant as his striking visual take on the city and its people, both natives and expatriates. Barcelona is a terrific comedy of attitudes and culture clashes that manages to be offbeat, sardonic, and unexpectedly wise. --Robert Lane
