...character up; for another, Bardem doesn't have to work hard to radiate the sensitive machismo of a man who doesn't use women so much as he allows them to briefly fulfill their dreams in him. Visually, too, the movie is in love with Barcelona, its gnarled Gaudi buildings, and with the countryside of Ovieto, a hundred shades of glorious earth tones. (The cinematographer is Javier Aguirresarobe, who has shot films directed by Pedro Almodovar, Victor Erice and Alejandro Amenabar.) It is in Ovieto that Vicky meets Juan Antonio's ancient father, who writes beautiful poetry but refuses...

...provincial, rooted in the Catalan compost; it was shaped, it is true, by the influence of Cubism and then by his immersion in the Surrealist avant-garde during the '20s, but drew its tenacious fantasy from sources as deep as those of his great Catalan predecessor, the architect Antoni Gaudi. Miro's work is Catalan and French -- rather as that of border-crossing troubadours in the 15th century had been. It constitutes one of the great oeuvres of modernist painting, and it probably would not do so if he had not been exposed to the challenge of Paris...

Miro's work thereafter would stay populated with images of specifically Catalan identity. ''Hard at work and full of enthusiasm,'' he reported...

...veteran who worked as an animator on that studio's first five features, and Steve Martino. They have elaborated on the TV show's designs to develop a dense, gorgeously goofy Who-ville - a town, of bright colors and sweetly tilting towers, that might have been dreamed by Antonio Gaudi and Red Grooms. Who-ville has a daft architectural logic that makes a comely contrast to the jungle lushness of Nool...
