Starring Romain Duris, Judith Godrèche, Audrey Tautou, Cécile de France, Kelly Reilly, Kevin Bishop, Federico d’Anna, Barnaby Metzchurat, Cristina Brondo, Christian Pagh and Xavier de Guillobon. Fox Searchlight Pictures, 2003. R. 122 minutes. R eleased in this country as The Spanish Apartment, the actual trans- lation for L’Auberge Espagnole runs closer to Pot Luck or Euro Pudding, which it was called at some film fests. Appropriately in these days of the European Community, the large cast speaks French, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch, with subtitles in English. You’ll have the added pleasure of thinking you’re in Europe for a couple of hours if you speak (or just like to hear) any of these lan- guages. New York Film School-trained writer, director Cédric Klapisch takes us right into this new Euro world, as recent college grad- uate Xavier (Romain Duris) combs Paris looking for a job in his field, economics. In the opening sequence, Klapisch (When the Cat’s Away, 1996) follows Xavier, who trudges down endless hallways; climbs mountains of stairs; enters and leaves multi- ple buildings, elevators and offices; fills out forms and more forms. Klapisch fast-for- wards through these scenes, but the camera trick soon loses its charm. When Xavier finally connects with a human being, the news is simple. To be hired in today’s climate, he should do graduate work in Spain through the EC’s Erasmus program. The idea behind Erasmus is that workers must be conversant with the economies, culture, language and people of other EC nations. So Parisian Xavier is soon off to FROM THE TOP, B a r c e l o n a , KEVIN BISHOP, where he FEDERICO D’ANNA, REILLY, knows no one, KELLY BARNABY does not speak METSCHURAT AND the language CRISTINA BRONDO. and hasn’t a clue how to find a place to live. School gets him out of his mother’s house, which is good for her, but it also means he leaves his girl- friend, Martine ( A u d r e y Tautou), who is miffed by his decision. Xavier is shy, but at the Barcelona air- port he meets a woman on his flight, Anne- Sophie (Judith Godrèche), and her doctor hus- band (Xavier de Guillobon). The doc invites Xavier to stay with them until he sorts out his housing. At his suggestion, Xavier squires Anne-Sophie around town, including to architect Antonio Gaudi’s romantic masterpiece, the church of the Sagrada Familia, with its colorful, fanciful appearance. Xavier finds the perfect place to stay in an older Spanish flat with numerous other Erasmus room-mates, none of them from the same country. He has to pass an interview to get the room, but he loves the place and the people. This is the real Euro experience, not the classroom or student thing, which they all know how to do well by now. But living really close to one another and figuring out who cleans the toilet — now, that’s the real thing. Full of small moments that have to do with growing up and becoming responsible, L’Auberge Espagnole has no authority fig- ure who “makes” anyone do things. Wendy (Kelly Reilly), a student from England, cleans the house when she can’t stand it another minute, but she eventually freaks out and insists everyone help clean the common rooms all use. Xavier brings his Belgian classmate, Isabelle (Cécile de France), to join them as an extra room-mate after the landlord raises the rent. He’s as surprised as everyone else when Isabelle tells him that she’s a lesbian, but they remain close friends. In a hammock together once, she says it’s too bad he’s not a woman. “The world is poorly made,” he replies. She models for Xavier how to woo a woman, and he successfully imitates her moves. Pure comic relief is added when Wendy’s crude brother, William (Kevin Bishop), comes to visit. William alien- ates everyone in the household with his blatant imitation of Continental stereotypes, and Wendy plans to throw him out. But he finds a way to earn her room-mates’ respect before the film is over. His antics are simply hilarious. The film swept the 2003 Césars , winning best director, film, and edit- ing; and for de France, most promising actress; and it’s easy to see why. The comedy isn’t deep but broad, which feels just right for this tasty smorgasbord of a picture. Loved it. Highest rec- ommendations. Opens Friday, Aug. 8, at the Bijou. ew Full of small moments that have to do with growing up and becoming responsible, L’Auberge Espagnole has no authority figure who “makes” anyone do things.
