Review of Barcelona Christmas Night

Spectators' opinions may differ very much but when films get reviewed by very few persons, they are bound to be unfairly judged. This is the case of 'Barcelona, nit d'hivern' which partly follows from the delicious 'Barcelona nit d'estiu', and which is also a delicious comedy. There is absolutely nothing trite or predictable in this film, which reflects very well Barcelona's local colour in its situations and characters. The formula used to bring diverse characters together may be nothing new but what these characters feel and the solutions they find to their quandaries is often original - at least it is hard to recall a scene like the family dinner and the announcement which the grandmother makes. Give yourself a treat, and enjoy 'Barcelona nit d'hivern'...
