"L'Auberge Espagnole" is a fascinating movie. Its title is very adequate - in literal translation, it means "Spanish Inn", but in colloquial French, L'Auberge Espagnole describes a crash of different cultures. Both of these meanings link to the movie very well.
The movie follows a post-graduate exchange student, Xavier (Romain Duris) , on his trip to Barcelona, and the extraordinary moments he there witnesses. The title refers to the apartment he is staying, packed with students from all over Europe, and the chaos in which these weird, but lovable people live. All these people are very different and well played by the multinational cast. Throw in the equation Xavier's jealous ex-girlfriend Martine (foolishly first-billed, but lovely Audrey Tautou), his new crush, the beautiful lesbian Soledad (Cristina Brondo) and his third love interest, the painfully shy Anne-Sophie (Judith Godrèche), and you've got an amazingly entertaining, at times depressing, but always very meditative movie, "L'Auberge Espagnole". It is a wonderful celebration of youth every young person should see.
