Life is complicated, just ask the ghosts of Hegel and Schopenhauer. That\u2019s what Xavier (Romain Duris) does, a genial fortyish author who, wanting to remain close to his young children, trades the comforts of Paris for the cultural kaleidoscope of New York City. Camped out in the living room of his old friend, Isabelle,\u00a0and her female companion, and making ends meet as a bicycle courier, the freewheeling Xavier rides headlong into a series of fresh emotional \u201ccomplications\u201d that just might be the thing he needs to get him past a creative slump. Eleven years ago, filmmaker C\u00e9dric Klapisch first introduced us to Xavier and his band of merry multi-nationals in the smash\u00a0L’AUBERGE ESPAGNOLE.\u00a0Two years later,\u00a0RUSSIAN DOLLS\u00a0checked back in to see how life was treating them.\u00a0CHINESE PUZZLE\u00a0brings their stories to a frothy and satisfying conclusion that gives each of its stars their moment to shine.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
