I finally understood the meaning of the title at the end:

J'ai repensé à toutes les filles que j'avais connues, avec qui j'avais couché, ou même que seulement j'avais désirées. Je me suis dit qu'elles étaient connues des poupées russes: on passe sa vie entière à jouer ce jeu-là, on est curieux de savoir qui sera la dernière, la toute petite qui était cachée depuis le début dans toutes les autres. On peut pas l'attraper directement. On est obligé de suivre un cheminement pour les ouvrir, l' une après l'autre. On se demande chaque fois, "est-ce que c'est elle, la dernier?"

    Many times I feel that I resonate with the protagonist's stray thoughts and confusion. He was still laughing at himself and bewildered, as in the Spanish apartment. I like watching the group of hot-blooded animals of different nationalities in the Spanish apartment.

Russian Dolls quotes

  • Xavier: So who should say I love you?

    Wendy: You should say I love you

    Xavier: No, you sould say I love you

  • 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?"
