In 2005 Woody Allen made a triumphant comeback to critical glory with Match Point, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination in eight years. Well, it turns out that was only a warm-up. Allen saved his true comeback for the summer of 2008 with Vicky Cristina Barcelona, an honest tragicomedy that switches out Allen's intellectual musings with a compelling study of the complexities of love. Featuring one of Allen's strongest ensembles in years, the film hearkens back to Allen's greatest days and ranks another "must see" addition to his filmography.
