Priceless

Ah, life among the jet set on the French Riviera. A whirlwind of parties, shopping, champagne, and caviar. Nice work if you can get it, which gorgeous young party girl, Irene, certainly can. Her job is to liaise with the richest bachelor she can find, no matter how odious or elderly, amusing him for awhile so he'll buy her priceless baubles and designer togs. Such people take the hired help for granted — those hotel, bar, and restaurant workers who keep things running behind the scenes. Jean is one of the have-nots, a mild-mannered bartender in one of the chicest hotels who takes on all the little jobs he can find for the cash. Crazy rich ladies hire him to walk their dogs; sad drunks tell him their stories in the bar late at night. When Irene and Jean's paths cross, he fakes being a millionaire. Eventually, though, they find they have something in common; a lack of personal finances and a taste for the good life. When Jean begins to take tips from Irene, he soon finds it's much easier to escort older ladies than to wait on them. A delightful comedy starring Audrey Tautou of “Amelie” and “The DaVinci Code.” (In French with English subtitles) – BB
