Entertainment Reviews:
Stillman's films tend to be about that magical moment when you realize people might actually start calling you on your s***.

Slyly hilarious, esthetically sound and spiritually restorative.

Globe and Mail
This is fairly amusing stuff-brittle, fresh, and impudent - if you can stomach all the upscale arrogance.

Rating: 7/10 --
Oozes affection for its subjects, and that carries it through even the weaker character moments and the more jarring shifts of narrative and tone.

Rating: 3/4 --
Darker and more acidic than Stillman's previous outing, this comedy, about two Americans at the end of the Cold War, could be described as Metropolitan meets Where the Boys Are meets The Year of Living Dangerously.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The second film from writer/director Whit Stillman, Barcelona is an urbane comedy of manners set in Spain at the tail end of the Cold War. Taylor Nichols stars as Ted, an American salesman living in Barcelona. Out of the blue, he is visited by his acidic cousin Fred (Chris Eigeman), a U.S. Navy officer sent abroad to work damage control on rising anti-American sentiment. The textbook "Ugly American," Fred travels through the city in full military regalia, impervious to the constant taunts of "Fascist!" Like the similarly self-absorbed Ted, who has become involved with political activist Monsterrat (Tushka Bergen), Fred also finds romance, with a party girl played by Mira Sorvino.
