Vicky Cristina Barcelona

But then he pivots and he makes Match Point.

And then he pivots and he makes Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris and then Blue Jasmine.

And there'll be clunkers in there mixed among them.

But the man has made 50 movies and at least 10 of them are great masterpieces yeah which is more than any other director could could likely and now it's it's again it's because of volume because he's also got 10 that are absolute shit yeah and then just a you know a lot that are okay or a lot that it's kind of funny or whatever but the man just makes the movies that he wants to make And I admire that.

I shared with you the email that Sarah C wrote about that.

And I want you to comment on that.

I don't remember ever saying that it looked as good as Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

It doesn't.

She has starred in two films that won the Best International Feature Oscar, 1992's Bella Puck and All About My Mother.

For Volver, she became the first Spanish actress ever to be nominated for an acting Oscar and subsequently received three additional acting nominations for 2008's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, 2009's Nine, and Parallel Mothers.

And for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, she became, in 2009, the first, and to this day, still the only Spanish actress to win an acting Oscar.

She's also the only person who has won at least one acting award from each of the five most prominent European film academies.

She has to her name three Goyas from the Spanish Academy, two Felixes from the European Film Academy, one BAFTA from the British Academy, one David Di Donatello from the Italian Academy, and one César from the French Academy.

And, and this one was Oscar nomination number one, and this one was, again, kind of the Italian, uh, factor comes in because Pedro talks about the model for this was more the Sophia Loren type, uh, or Claudia Cardinale or the different kind of Italian screen goddesses where they were not...

It wasn't necessarily a glamorous part or anything that they were generally playing, but there was a energy to those characters.

And I wonder if you wanna say anything about that one and also the fact that in terms of these, the international... or the Spanish projects fueling the, the international ones, I mean, that I believe was the one that led then Woody Allen to cast you for Vicky Cristina Barcelona right after.

then.

She, Rebecca Hall, apologized for working on Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2018 or 2019 and then has now apologized for apologizing.

Exactly, which I think is perfect and captures very much the moment that we're

in.

Like sometimes you can tell that a filmmaker has sexual in the stocking because of what they focus on.

The entire movie is just love, not triangle, quadrangle between four people and it just gets more and more complex and people start out not wanting it and then they change it's just flip-flopping it's incredible so vicky christina barcelona was probably the first time i watched a film that i knew that i was watching a film by a sexual type

my friend vicky

i'd like to invite you both to spend the weekend really well we'll drink wine we'll make love

And right now the working title is Madrid, and it's set in Spain, where he's had a couple of really cool movies.

You know, he had Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which won a lot of Oscars.

It was a big hit.

And we don't know what this one's about, but his last film, Coupe de Champs, was shot in France and was all in French, in fact.

One or two other things.

I think it really took off for her until she did Vicky Cristina Barcelona with, um, with Woody Allen.

Yeah, I guess, I guess not.

I mean, she had her, yeah, she had her, uh, she had her foreign language career already up and running.

So I guess she was doing fine, but you're right, no, hadn't had a big Hollywood breakout role-

Yeah

... until Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Cameron Diaz.
