If you loved The Spanish Apartment, try Russian Dolls

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Cédric Klapisch, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Spanish Apartment, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Here's a film that suggests people actually stay in touch after studying abroad. Five years after a supposed life-changing summer, a familiar group of friends attempts to rekindle what they had. The movie serves as a reminder that some connections are harder to revive than others.
