The Spanish Apartment (L'auberge espagnole) is a story young man going to Graduate school in Spain. He meets several people within the film who either inspire him or piss him off. He rooms with about seven other people from all over Europe. I think the best part of the film takes place in their apartment, because all the frustrations when rooming together are shown and present a comical performance. The diversity of languages and races is amazing, because the chemistry these actors have together is full of life. I highly recommend this film for anyone, weather your interest is foreign films or simply just movies. This has everything a movie can have, and is my favorite foreign film. Get together and watch it with your friends it makes it more halarious.
Although the action takes places in Europe w/ European students I could relate closely with these young people, their angst, their joy, their energy. It took me right back to my college days, the good, the reckless, and the painful. I just loved it and look forward to sharing it with my college age children. I first saw this film more than a year ago and it still comes to mind frequently. I think it's a gem.I would rank it up with Whit Stillman's Metropolitan and Barcelona.
Currently I am a second year college student studying International Studies. I also have a great intrest in the French language and culture! What better way to hear and learn and see it all! Overall this is a great movie that can amuse a broad audiance of people of all ages. I have studies classic French films such as Pepe le Moko, A bout de Souffle, La Femme Nikita and over the years the French film industry has come a long way. Each film was enjoyable in its own way. I highly recomend this film for anyone intrested in culture and language.
I was unaware at the time of purchase that the item was previously viewed. That was not a problem though as the movie was in perfect condition. I appreciated the fact that it had both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions, as we were able to watch it on our friends normal TV and our HDTV projection screen. Its one of my favorite movies and I love having it for myself now.
Great movie. I was a little apprehensive before I watched it, as I had read many not-so-good reviews, but I quite enjoyed it :) The only question I had was why do the subtitles not show when the people in the appartment are talking to each other?? I watched it in Español with English subtitles..... I still understood most of it, anyway :) Im now looking forward to watching Russian Dolls :D
