Priceless

Priceless (Hors de prix, 2006) is Pierre Salvadori's French romantic comedy, available to watch online on iFILM. On a glittering Riviera night, a hunter of rich men mistakes a shy bartender for a millionaire. Morning brings the truth.

Irene lives off wealthy suitors and trades them without regret. Jean only mixes drinks at the hotel, yet over a single night he charms her, until she learns he is broke and bolts. Smitten, Jean chases after her, burns through his savings in a matter of days, and once he is flat broke takes up as a paid companion to an older, very rich woman. Now he and Irene are running the same scam from adjacent suites, and she grudgingly agrees to coach the rookie. Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh carry the pairing with a charm that nods to old Hollywood comedy.

Salvadori turns out an elegant riff on Breakfast at Tiffany's, where money, flirtation and calculation all cover for something genuine. It is a light, well-dressed film built on resort glamour, made for anyone who likes French wit without crudeness and an ending that pays off. Stream Priceless (2006) online on iFILM.
