  • Starring: Audrey Tautou, Gad Elmaleh, Marie-Christine Adam, Vernon Dobtcheff
  • Summary: Jean, a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful, scheming opportunist named Irene. When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that 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, until Irene finally starts to warm to her persistent, persuasive suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the south of France, Pierre Salvadori directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh reimagining of the cinema classic Breakfast at Tiffany's.

    The lovely Audrey Tautou and sad-eyed Gad Elmaleh are perfectly cast as a gold digger and the poor sap who loves her, but the real star of Pierre Salvadori's larky, Lubitsch-esque farce is France's impossibly chic Cote d'Azure.

    Calls to mind Lubitsch's "Trouble in Paradise" and beguiles all the way from the parade of umbrellas decorating the opening titles to the closing credits.
  3. A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, or so the saying goes, but the unadulterated joy Irène takes in throwing open the closet door to show Jean how this gold digging is done is positively infectious.

    A farcical romp but, being French, it's hugely glamorous and dripping with style.

    Priceless certainly won't change your life, it's not even at all original, but the script is sharp and the leads are engaging. Tatou even manages to imbue the otherwise reprehensible Irene with sufficient vulnerability to make us cheer her most outrageous scams. Expand

    If you enjoy movies about unlikeable frenchies forming amoral relationships and doing boring, unfunny things - this is your film. Alternately, if you found Tatou simply too sweet in Amelie, watch this immediately afterwards as an antidote. Expand
