Movies

This is a very well done film showing the life of international students during their "Erasmus year" in Barcelona which by the way is one of the most beautiful towns in Europe and is an ideal location. The idea itself with all the different languages is great and gives the film an original atmosphere. There are some clichés about the countries but most of them are true! The characters could not better represent their different countries.Having experienced "Erasmus" on myself during my exchang semester in Italy I can say that is movie is incredibly authentic. I had many experiences which were similar to the characters (except I didn't get laid as often). The movie is also quite funny yet not like all those stupid American college movies.Finally the movie touches also some important issues like the change from student to work life.9/10 (I may not be very objective though)

why it is a great film remains the question without answer. maybe, its freshness is the right response. or the memories from student life period of the viewer. or the cool characters. or Romain Duris. or the wise script. or the French air. for me, long time, "L'auberge espagnole" was the most inspired pledge for European Union existence, out of institutions from Bruxelles, out of recommendations , out of its tools for create a poor and empty concept as political/economical system. a film about an unique age and about the essence of Europe. smart, spiritual, adorable and admirable. or just profound convincing pledge for friendship as the best way to live.

friendship, ages, community, small human map of E.U., French style to present a world far of limits , delicate feelings, reflection in the others, love, adventures, common existence, trips, joy, search of sense, invention of experiences and sentimental connections. a film about evolution and self definition. nothing complicated. but profound analyse of escapes, dreams and importance of gesture as skin of words. a picture of young people as picture of a very strange and, in same measure, common, Europe. a message of hope. with crumbs of courage, sentimental complications, personal problems, need of friends and importance of meeting. the first virtue - its fresh seductive air. the second virtue - its art to be perfect mirror of a generation. the last virtue - unspoken words, mixture of realism and poetry and the waters of emotions. a love story. for a continent as part of its citizens.
