Russian Dolls

About This Movie

So, Russian Dolls is really a continuation of that vibe from L'Auberge Espagnole. It's got this breezy, almost nostalgic atmosphere as you dive back into the lives of Xavier and his friends. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing you to soak in their adventures in Paris and beyond. The film explores themes of love, identity, and the complexities of relationships as they navigate their late 20s. The performances are genuine; you really feel the chemistry and the awkwardness between the characters. Cédric Klapisch crafts this mosaic of encounters, and while it's not heavy on practical effects, the cinematography captures the European backdrop beautifully. It’s like hanging out with old friends again, messy drama and all.
