British actor Lucy Gordon was found dead by suicide in Paris, France on May 21, 2009, at the age of 28.


Because one of the main actors died, I turned this film out for an interlude.

In fact, she is not really a starring role, and there are not many scenes.

The film is a bit rambunctious and gritty. The protagonist is similar to the unmarried men in the 30s or so in the world, and they have their own advantages and disadvantages, the same as this and that on the issue of girlfriends.

The title of the Russian doll actually refers to the toy of the author: the Russian nesting doll. The implication is that girlfriends are like nesting dolls, you never know whether there is a more suitable one hidden behind you after you make a choice...

Russian Dolls quotes

  • Xavier: If I think about all the girls I've known or slept with or just desired, they're like a bunch of Russian dolls. We spend our lives playing the game dying to know who'll be the last, the teeny-tiny one hidden inside all the others. You can't just get to her right away. You have to follow the progression. You have to open them one by one wondering, "Is she the last one?"

  • Xavier: No, it's difficult. It's not the same in the story and in real life.

    Wendy: So then tell me more about real life. I wanna know what really happened to you. What actually made you fall in love with one specific girl-why her in particular?

    Xavier: Okay. So. Do you remember Neus?

    Wendy: Yes.

    Xavier: So, she came to Paris to study one year after we left Barcelona. My idea had been to take a little stroll to show her Paris. As time went on, I sensed we didn't want to separate. We didn't want just a little stroll. We wanted a much longer stroll. At one moment, I don't know why. I don't know how, this happened.

    [They hesitantly hold hands]

    Xavier: I felt her hand say, "Really? Are you sure?" And my hands said, "I'm sure. I want to, and I sense you do, too."
