Film suggestion: Le concert

A movie about the universal language of music in which you will also have the chance to listen to a classical concert for violin and orchestra without getting bored even if this is not your favorite music genre.

This movie from Radu Mihaileanu is a comedy about an ex conductor from Balchoi Theater who finds an occasion to perform at Chatelet in Paris. He organizes an ad-hock orchestra from his old friends and goes to Paris, where his group which didn't practiced since years seems to disintegrate. However they get reunited for the concert which becomes an enormous success. 

It is about language, about differences between the eastern and western Europe, about cliches and about music.

Film suggestion: Auberge espagnole

Auberge espagnole and the sequel Les poupees russe is probably the most representative for the abroad students way of life. It capture the enthusiasm of youth and the joy of discovery.

A french student goes to Barcelona with an exchange program. This becomes an initiative travel, in which he discovers a new way of life, makes friends and learns something about love.
Back home he is a different person and he chooses to change his life, starting from his carrier. 

The sequel is more a story about finding love. One story is hidden in a bigger story. What is interesting, is the fact that each new girls that he meets is from a different country, a different culture and we get some very nice sight-seen from Paris, London and Moscow.
