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

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.
