Priceless

Went for a limited screening of the French movie Hors De Prix, or Priceless at Lido.

It was great to see Audrey Tautou speaking French in a French movie again, as it sure beats watching her speak in English and ending up muttering in French in a Hollywood movie. She plays Irene, a high maintenance gold digger who hooks up with bartender, Jean (Gad Elmaleh), after mistaking his identity for a wealthy suitor.

There is no doubt about Tautou’s stellar performance in this unusual comedy. Yet, kudos to Elmaleh, for his excellent portrayal of the terribly smitten Jean, whose chivalrous character will surely win many over.

Loads of fun. Definitely worth watching.
