Its a movie book.Between the opening and closing of the paperback cover resides a sweet fresh movie avoiding the cliché life and still talking about the same old love,friendship,marriage and all the likes.Dare not miss the intricacies of each scene(highlights being the after party scene or the silent narrations of Xavier,annoyingly funny British brother or the rendezvous between Xavier and Anne-Sophie).I would rather call it peeping through a keyhole into the lives of strange expatriates.It all looks that natural at the core. Cinematic experience starts getting richer with addition of every character.Though the movie does not deal with going into depth of each character and is based on their superficial portrayal,its more about life on the surface for 5-6-7 roommates and the intersections.An interesting mix of events is sure to happen when each one comes from different world and still mingle like a perfect cocktail,secret recipe being the flavor of youth.A french arty-farty movie,it still melts like cheese with the air of warmth surrounding each of the characters.
