Priceless Hors de prix
A woman who has never had much trouble choosing between love or money tries to teach a man the tricks of the trade in this sly romantic comedy. Irene (Audrey Tautou) is an attractive thirtysomething woman who lives a comfortable life by taking up with older and very wealthy men. She meets Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a handsome bartender who works a variety of odd jobs to keep himself afloat. She ends up enjoying a romantic evening with Jean, that is until she discovers he's broke.
"Pierre Salvadori's delightful comedy, picturesquely set in a series of posh hotels on the French Riviera, throws together two terrific comic actors and an irresistible premise." - Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

This film was done on a soundstage! I lived in Nice for a year and aside from the Station it's all a farce
It's hard for me not to pass up a film set in the French Riviera. A fun French comedy about an unlikely romance between the gorgeous Audrey Tautou and the lovable but nerdy Elmaleh.
