"I don't go to bed with just anyone anymore. I have to be attracted to them sexually."
Review: This is very intelligent talkative movie about two cousins living in Barcelona near the end of the cold war. The movie deals with the culture clash between Americans and Europeans in these two men's relationships with the city's women. Chris Eigeman is great as the charismatic asshole, an opinionated Navy officer who is the embodiment of the Anti-American opinion he faces in the city.
"You can't say Americans are not more violent than other people."
"No?"
"All those people killed in shootings in America?"
"Oh, shootings, yes. But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots."
"You see, that's one of the great things about getting involved with someone from another country. You can't take it personally. What's really terrific is that when we act in ways which might objectively seem asshole-ish or, or, incredibly annoying, they don't get upset at all. They don't take it personally. They just assume it's some national characteristic."
4 out of 4 Stars
