解析電影臺詞學地道英語：午夜巴塞羅那

在2009年第81屆奧斯卡上，佩內洛普•克魯茲憑藉此片獲得最佳女配角獎。故事產生在美麗的巴塞羅那，美國女孩維姬(麗貝卡•豪爾 Rebecca Hall 飾)和克里斯蒂娜(斯嘉麗•約翰遜 Scarlett Johansson 飾)在度假時認識了名聲並不太好的藝術家胡安(哈維爾•巴登 Javier Bardem 飾)。性格迥異的兩姐妹在第二次遇到胡安後，對胡安結伴去奧維耶多過週末的邀請，熱情奔放的克里斯蒂娜一下子就爽快允許了，而即將結婚的維姬卻感到深深的不安。在奧維耶多發生了讓人意想不到的事件，原本應該跟胡安一夜春宵的克里斯蒂娜因病躺在牀上休息，而理智的維姬卻和胡安一夜風騷。當三個人再次回到巴塞羅那之後，維姬的未婚夫道格前來陪伴她，維姬的生涯好像歸於寧靜。而當克里斯蒂娜開始了與胡安熱戀並同居的生活之時,，胡安的前妻瑪麗婭(佩內洛普•克魯茲Penélope Cruz 飾)突然浮現，這三人之間構築起一種奇特的關係。於是在盛夏的充滿浪漫氣息的歐洲名城，一段幽默而又深刻的對愛的故事拉開了序幕。
