Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
Tart, well-written comedy from Will Stillman (METROPOLITAN) about two American cousins (Taylor Nichols and Chris Eigeman) living in said Spanish city in "the last decade of the cold war." The former is a salesman, the latter is a Naval officer and,...read the complete Barcelona (1994) review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)

DVD Talk (Aaron Beierle)
"Barcelona" is a witty, well-acted feature that offers strong dialogue and two interesting lead characters. The film's DVD edition offers somewhat lackluster video quality, but decent audio and a surprising amount of good supplements. A worthwhile...read the complete Barcelona (1994) review at DVD Talk (Aaron Beierle)

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 ...

This witty and very intelligent comedy is a slice of life of two 30-something Americans in Spain. Ted's an awkward, yet successful sales representative, who's down on his luck with the ladies. As a result, he plunges himself into a series of self-help ...

I read in a recent review that Whit Stillman is a Republican. This film certainly doesn't show it, as it pokes fun at ignorant US imperialism just as much as it does at the ignorance of some European leftists of the late 1970s and early 1980s. I myself ...

First things first, Whit Stillman should be making movies until he dies. Let's get that guy back behind the camera for the good of everybody. Barcelona, as a film, is deceptively serious as, amid its banal conversations about the proper way to shave ...

This film made a very deep impression on me as, although I'm originally from Canada, I always introduce myself as "from New York" when I visit Europe, and I have experienced the same kind of anti-Americanism that is lampooned in this film. Also, for ...

I rented Barcelona from Netflix after I was amazed by the hilarity and originality of Metropolitan. I figured if Whit Stillman did half as good a job on Barcelona it would be worth it. My expectations were exceeded. Right after I finished watching it, ...

THis is a profound wonderful film set in Barcelona and following the hapless exploits of two cousins as they persue love and other interests in Europe. THe cousins couldn't be more different, one a reserved nerd obsessed with books on marketing and the ...

I believe this is Whit Stillman's finest, of the three films he's done so far.Starring Taylor Nichols, Chris Eigeman, Mira Sorvino, Tushka Bergen, Thomas Gibson, etc., 'Barcelona' is a neurotic quirky romantic comedy, but with some fairly clever ...

Taylor Nichols and Chris Eigeman are cousins living in Barcelona, Spain in the early 1980s. They still have issues with each other that date back to their childhood, but that is the least of their problems. Barcelona is becoming anti-American. It ...

Yes, I am a huge Stillman fan. The three movies are in my top ten and I own them all on video. But why have video when you can have DVD? So where is ...
