El albergue español

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.
