Les Poupées Russes (2005)
Xavier (Romain Duris) a 30 ans. Il a réalisé son rêve d'enfance, il est devenu écrivain, mais il semble quand même un peu perdu. Il a quelques problèmes avec sa banquière. Il a également des réticences à se fixer avec une fille et enchaîne les aventures amoureuses avec inconséquence. Xavier est contraint de continuer son travail à Londres, puis à Saint-Pétersbourg. Ces nouveaux voyages lui permettront peut-être de réconcilier le travail, l'amour et l'écriture.
At almost 30, Xavier (Romain Duris) has achieved his childhood dream of being a writer but somehow he seems still a little lost. He is having problems with his banker... he is also reluctant to settle with one woman and continues his adventures in love which in turn is always full of inconsistencies. Due to inevitable circumstances, Xavier is forced to continue his work in London... then to St. Petersburg. His recent travels may probably help reconcile his work, love and writing.
Amongst sequels, LES POUPÉES RUSSES (THE RUSSIAN DOLLS, its literal English title) is well-written and directed that it succesfully maintained the coolness if not better “L’Auberge Espagnole.” Again, I enjoyed the film a lot because it has more meaning that can inspire those who are having the same dilemma when they are almost in the same age as Xavier. Aside from that, you’ll be treated to great acting by practically all the members of the cast plus you’d be able to see three beautiful European cities – Paris, London and St Petersburg.
