  Oscar®-winning writer and director Woody Allen (Match Point) uses the vibrant energy of Barcelona, Spain, as his canvas to paint a sexually-charged but ultimately hilarious portrait of love in 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona', debuting on DVD and Blu-Ray January 27th from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.  With Golden Globe®-nominated performances from Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men), Oscar® nominee Penelope Cruz (Volver) and Rebecca Hall (The Prestige), 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' tells the story of a pair of young American women vacationing together in Spain, where they both meet and fall for the same local bohemian painter.  The situation becomes increasingly difficult when his tempestuous ex-wife unexpectedly makes her way back into his life.
