Vicky Cristina Barcelona fails [the Bechdel] test in the most frustrating way possible. Occasionally, the female characters do have conversations about life and art and architecture. We know this because the omnipresent narrator describes what they are talking about, rather than let Vicky, Cristina, or María Elena actually speak directly to each other. When they do speak to each other, they are talking about men.
