In the tradition of many French films, L’Auberge Espagnole is a warm,well written, coming of age and semi autobiographical movie that is guaranteed to quit with you long after you recognize it.Cedric Klapish does a unbelievable job in telling a account that at first view does not seem to say noteworthy, but hides many realizations, which the viewer will subtley unravel one by one. The space seems simple enough: Xavier a young French student (played wonderfully by Roman Duris) is preparing his future life and career in the EU commision thanks to his father’s connections, provided that he acquires a masters degrees in Spanish economics. He goes to Barcelona,leaving his girlfriend unhurried (Amelie’s Audrey Tatou),and after staying with a French couple he meets at the airport, he finally gets a room in a flat he shares with others European students,from Italy, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Belgium and England.He is estatic about his fresh lodgings and the top-notch vibes he gets from it, petite does he know that his life is about to change forever from that moment on.
His plans for a gain career, and his mundane and sheltered life comes gradually under attack from his experiences with his roommates in a foreign city he comes to love: An affair with the wife of a French doctor (the helpful Judith Godreche) the same couple he stayed with on his arrival,his lesson of seduction by a lesbian (the resplendent Cecile de France),who becomes his best friend, a friendship first sealed by their approved esteem of the music of Ali Fakre Toure (I understanding what an recent diagram to seal a friendship!),and the worship of life in all its colours he soon discovers.

The core of the film is not about some Europeans getting together in the spirit of a original Europe, with all their cultural differences and habits, it is rather about a young man who finally discovers who he really is and what he wants from life! Barcelona could be London or Paris or anywhere else for that matter, and the students could have been from any nationality, it does not matter as distinguished as the fact that it is about a meander of self discovery and change, this is what makes the film a masterpiece.
I first conception that there were too many characters in the film which could have easily done without, especially that some students, like the Italian, German and Danish characters are more than extras and not quite developped, but by the destroy of the film, you do understand why Klapish wrote them all.
Apart from Duris’s charater, I conception the English characters were well written and provide most of the humour in the film (brilliantly played by Kelly Reilly and Kevin Bishop) .It is always arresting to gaze how the English are seen and portrayed in French films, and vice versa-The love/hate relationship of the two countries is legendary ever since William the Conqueror woke up one morning and decided to have Fish’n'Chips for lunch-but Klapish,although falling slightly in the cliche of the heavily drunk who can’t occupy his drink, he has a sympathetic scrutinize for the ‘neighbors across the channel’.
Klapish’s aversion of bureaucracy is very well emphasized: the rapidly camera shots of the EU corridors, the endless forms he has to hold, the men in grey suits who deem they can snort a joke, a world that Xavier realizes he does not belong to.
