A European Love Affair
is a special box set
consisting of three of
Woody Allen's most
romantic titles.
Making his way around
Europe, Woody Allen
presents a trio of
refreshingly funny,
intelligent and
unequivocally
entertaining films. In
these odes to Barcelona,
Paris and Rome, the
actor/writer/director
has succeeded in
capturing the history,
romance and magic of
these celebrated cities.
A European Love Affair
includes:
VICKY CHRISTINA
BARCELONA
Just as New
York City was the
backdrop in Woody
Allen's Manhattan, the
stunning city of
Barcelona is the setting
for the romantic
adventures of Vicky and
Cristina. These two
young Americans spend a
summer in Spain, amidst
the luscious
Mediterranean sensuality
of Barcelona where they
meet a flamboyant artist
(Bardem) and his
beautiful but crazy
ex-wife (Cruz). Vicky
(Hall) is straight-laced
and about to be married.
Cristina (Johansson) is
a sexually adventurous
free spirit. When they
all become amorously
entangled, the results
are both hilarious and
chaotic. Vicky and
Cristina learn some hard
lessons about love - and
about themselves.
MIDNIGHT IN
PARIS
Gil (Owen
Wilson) and Inez (Rachel
McAdams) are engaged to
be married, on holidays
in Paris with her
parents. They are
officially in love, but
maybe what Gil really
loves is Paris in the
springtime. He's a
successful yet
dissatisfied Hollywood
screenwriter who still
harbours the dream of
someday writing a good
novel and joining the
pantheon of American
writers whose ghosts
seem to linger in the
very air he breathes.
Gil is besotted with the
Paris of the 1920s, when
his heroes F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Ernest
Hemingway traded dry
martinis and even drier
barbs with the likes of
Gertrude Stein and Pablo
Picasso. Inez and her
family, on the other
hand, couldn't care
less. Gil is quick to
admit, he's a nostalgist
who feels like he was
born in the wrong time.
The past seems much more
exciting than the moment
he lives in. Exploring
Paris on his own, Gil
embarks on an enchanted
journey to discover the
streets alive with
hidden wonders that will
change his life forever.
Midnight In Paris'
wonderful cast alongside
Wilson and McAdams
includes Kathy Bates,
Michael Sheen, Marion
Cotillard and Adrien
Brody, who delight in
amusing and smartly
written scenes. An
exhilarating valentine
to the City of Light,
Midnight in Paris is a
sheer pleasure to watch
- beguiling, magical,
thoughtful and very
funny, and a paean to
dreamers and romantics
everywhere.
TO ROME WITH
LOVE
Doing for Rome
what Woody Allen did for
Barcelona in Vicky
Cristina Barcelona and
Paris in Midnight In
Paris, comes To Rome
With Love. Full or
romance and comedy, and
starring another fine
ensemble cast of great
actors, To Rome With
Love follows four
different storylines of
characters in Italy -
some American, some
Italian, some residents
and other visitors - and
the adventures and
predicaments they find
themselves in.
