DirectorActorsSynopsisA new episode in Xavier's life, five years after his adventures in Barcelona in "The Spanish Apartment." AboutRussians Dolls by Cédric Klapisch (Les Poupées russes, France, 2005, 125 min.). Working with many of the same young actors who made L’Auberge espagnole such a worldwide success—including Audrey Tautou and Cécile de France—Cédric Klapisch offers a perceptive “state of a generation” report. Here, in one of France’s biggest box-office successes of 2005, he captures with equal measures of sympathy and bemused detachment the personal and professional travails of Xavier and his friends, as their youthful promise begins to settle into the workaday world. Five years after we left him in L’Auberge espagnole, Xavier (Romain Duris of The Beat That My Heart Skipped) seems to be living out his college dreams: he’s a working writer, he doesn’t lack for romantic companionship, and he has a supportive circle of friends. Yet somehow it’s not enough—or it is, but maybe what he really wants is something else. Description adapted from the Film Society at Lincoln Center. Production photos (9)
