An Eclectic Mix

I can't say that I immediately rushed out to buy this album after watching the movie. I don't think the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard, and I have to admit that I was a tad disappointed that there wasn't more French music involved. Although, as the movie was set in Spain, it's understandable.

However, once I bought this album, it quickly grew on me, and has since become one of my favorites. It's a great mix of songs for just about any activity; I especially like it for my road trips. I encourage everyone to buy this album, as it's an "auberge espagnole" in its own right.

great mix from the movie

If you want to introduce yourself to great music, seen the movie or not, this is the cd for you.

In complement to the movie

I went to see "L'Auberge..." and I loved it so much I wanted to repeat it. Pity, it wasn't been played anymore in the cinema. I had to remember how it was, and good moments were when Radiohead's No Surprises was playing in the minute of crisis. Daft Punk had a chance to sound with Aerodinamic when there was the sort of action. The music that was specially made for the film... well, I don't have complaints. You could say it's a bit etnical, and joyful. In a general look it's a good mix of songs, moods, sensations, etc. If you buy it you can use for when you invite people over your house, to have fun, whilst you do the cleaning, or if you're alone/sad/bored. If you're not that sure, I recommend you to watch the movie to know the songs and to be part of itself. Then you'll know what to do.
