Summary: Another intriguing take on affairs of the heart from the master of the artform with some solid performances, most notably from Javier Bardem and Rebecca Hall.
Story: Two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist (Javier Bardem), and his beautiful but insane ex-wife (Penelope Cruz), who tries seducing them into sleeping with him.. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married. Since Vicky is engaged to a business man in New York, she's not so easily swayed but Cristina's relationship with the charming seducer gets more confusing when his ex-wife (Penelope Cruz) enters the picture and she finds herself in a dysfunctional ménage a trois with the passionate artists. Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results are both hilarious and harrowing.
