Movies - L'Auberge espagnole


L'Auberge espagnole is a 2002 French film directed and written by Cédric Klapisch. It is about Xavier, an Economics graduate student studying for a year in Barcelona, where he encounters and learns from a group of students that are from all over Western Europe. The group is not only diverse in the sense of nationality, but also in sexuality {Isabelle (De France)}.

The title of the film literally means "the Spanish hostel", and is a French expression meaning something out of which one gets what one puts in; it is sometimes also used to mean a busy, chaotic place. The English title of the film is Pot Luck in the UK and Canada, and The Spanish Apartment in the USA and Australia; Euro Pudding is an international title it was given. In Spain, where it is set, it was released as Una casa de locos — "Madhouse".

The film's portrayal is in the first-person perspective of the main-character Xavier, and is hence mainly narrated in French. Some of the dialogue is in English however, and a significant amount is in Spanish, as well as small amounts in Catalan, Danish, German and Italian.

The marketing for the film tends to focus on Audrey Tautou
, despite the fact that she only plays a relatively small supporting role in the film.

The movie has a sequel of sorts, The Russian Dolls.
