...title characters are two American women and a one very romantic city. Vicky (English stage actress Rebecca Hall, who was the beguiling pawn of two magicians in The Prestige) wrote her master's in Catalan Identity. Before marrying businessman Doug (Chris Messina), she has come to Barcelona to spend July and August with a welcoming relative, Judy (Patricia Clarkson), and Judy's husband Mark (Kevin Dunn). Vicky has brought along her friend Cristina (current Woody muse Scarlett Johansson), who is restless emotionally and artistically. She has the impulse to be creative - she starred in and directed a 12 min. film...
...make money but to also establish [greater] friendship with mainland people. The education ministry has decided to recognize mainland diplomas and many mainland students will come to Taiwan to study. I want young people from the two sides to get to know each other at a relatively early stage of their lives. This is the best way for mutual understanding. If we continue to do that, in the next 10 years, you will have mainlanders in Taiwan and Taiwanese on the mainland - a very close interrelationship. I don't see how you can start a war then. That...

Their live performances quickly drew fans, inspiring even the most inhibited crowd to abandonment. "It's a special band," says Hutz. "What you see on stage is pretty much an amplified version of these people's personalities and lives." Gogol Bordello - an American, a Chinese-Scot, an Ecuadorian, an Ethiopian, an Israeli, two Russians, a Thai-American and Ukrainian Hutz - call their music "gypsy punk," a label Hutz invented, he says, to stop music journalists coming...
...though, the focus is on touring relentlessly. A few hours after Hutz's shopping expedition, a 5,000 person sell-out crowd roars its approval as the band strikes up Zina Marina and Hutz struts across the stage in stilettos and his blonde wig. Two hours of frenzied gypsy folk, punk, dub, flamenco, whatever, later, and the audience is ecstatic. But Hutz wants more. People are always asking, he says, why he jumps from project to project, why his life is "such a nonstop thing. But then I'll read something about Leonardo da Vinci or Charlie Chaplin or Michelangelo...
