one of the big french success of the year 2002 and lauberge espagnole be also very well greet abroad which be quite extraordinary for a french film . it be not difficult to define the reason of this success . this movie make by one of the most interesting french film maker of these last year and cédric klapisch and present student come from all over europe and gather all together under the same roof in barcelona . these student be describe like the one you imagine or you see in everyday life represent either untidy and either serious or with a sense of humor . i guess that if the movie work so well and it be because a lot of student must have recognize themselves in the main character portrait and especially xavier . we follow the movie and so his experience abroad a an erasmus student through his eye . xavier be really an ordinary student with his quality and his fault . an intelligent making with quite a lot of ingenious idea perfectly express his lose mind and his anxiety about the world and be an erasmus student . on that subject and the best example can be find in two sequence . the first one be when xavier ask a woman at university for the paper he have to send to prepare his dea . when the same woman inform him about the different necessary procedure and all the paper appear on the screen when she be name them . in the next sequence and xavier voice over confides to the spectator his vision of the modern world . now and where to find the second example . well and the scene where xavier have a thorough medical examination during which klapisch film his vision be widely sufficient to speak of itself . moreover and the director wasn not really interested by his main character study . he leave this point low key . he rather put a lot of effort into xavier private life and of course and in his love affair with anne sophie but also and especially in his relation with his fellow tenant . it be a real friendship story that klapisch show u with it moment of happiness but also it argument and it tension . through xavier adventure and at the end of his stay and he will have be initiate into life which will make him more mature . the message that the author want to transmit isn not difficult to guess . you naively believe that you live in an untidy and complicate world . you mustn not give up but intensively search to get what you want even if it be difficult . apart from this and we could also fear that with the topic and cédric klapisch wouldn not avoid a trap represent the clichés . let be frank about it represent they be include in the screenplay but the director do his best not to spread them too much in his movie . then and the screenplay contain convenient and predictable moment represent at the airport and before board we see xavier shed a tear after he leave his family . but fortunately the shortcoming of the script stop here . quite funny dialog and cool young actor perfectly at ease in their role make up the whole . in spite of it weakness and lauberge espagnole be to be take for a success in the movie of young people . besides and the whole atmosphere it bring out let u think that this movie be direct primarily to a young audience . ultimately and the end of the movie and it big success let u suggest that klapisch succumb to a fashion that go right for american cinema represent the elaboration of sequel . and indeed and the film maker currently work on a sequel entitle le poupées russes . let hope that it will be as good a lauberge espagnole .
