The number one smash hit comedy from Pierre Salvadori (After You) stars the sublime Audrey Tautou (Amélie) and Gad Elmaleh (The Valet) in a crowd-pleasing riff on romance and money, set amidst the luxury of five star hotels, caviar, bespoke wardrobes and dreamy scenery.
The beautiful, scheming adventuress Irène (Tautou) meets Jean (Elmaleh), a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, and mistakes him for a young millionaire. She skips out from her sixty-something sugar daddy Jacques (Vernon Dobtcheff) to spend the night with Jean. However, when she discovers his lowly status, Irène beats a quick retreat. But love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her escape, and pursues her to the French Riviera. Quickly running out of money, he finds himself a loaded widow (Marie-Christine Adam) and takes up residence in a magnificent luxury hotel. Will the seducer become the seduced?
Employing an acerbic humour to paint a landscape in which everything can be bought or sold and authentic emotion is a professional impediment, PRICELESS is just that - and Tautou and Elmaleh make a wickedly conniving but gorgeous pair.
