Dir. Pierre Salvadori, 2007. Color. 103 min.
With Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh
Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Cote d’Azur, Priceless revolves around Jean,
(Gad Elmaleh) a shy young bartender, who is mistaken for a millionaire by the beautiful, scheming opportunist Irene (Audrey Tautou). When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that a love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her get away. Jean’s comical attempts to gain her affections gradually evolve into setting himself up as a “gigolo” at a luxury hotel, as Irene finally warms to her persistent, persuasive suitor.
Pierre Salvadori (Après Vous) directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic farce, starring Audrey Tautou (Amélie, The Da Vinci Code), renowned French comedian
Gad Elmaleh (The Valet), and Marie-Christine Adam (Le Divorce).
Please join FIAF for an advanced screening of Priceless which will be released in the U.S. by Samuel Goldwyn Films on March 28.
