This film was such a success at the recent French Film Festival that Cinema Paradiso have decided to continue to screen it. It stars the lovely Audrey Tautou (Amelie) as Irene, a beautiful young woman who sells her sexual favours to the highest bidder. Apart from her powers of seduction, her other main skill is shopping for designer clothes in all the up-market boutiques with her latest conquest’s credit card.

Gad Elmaleh (The Valet) is still playing the valet but is mistaken for a young millionaire while he is working at an expensive hotel. When the scheming Irene discovers that the shy waiter Jean has a limited supply of ready cash, she quickly moves on, but the love-struck Jean follows her the Cote d’Azur. The comedy becomes more complicated when Jean discovers that the only way he can keep up with the fickle Irene is to adopt her lifestyle, and he becomes a gigolo.

Irene becomes Jean’s mentor as he adjusts to his new lifestyle, but they both know that there are some things that cannot be bought … they are priceless. A one Euro coin is exchanged back and forth between the two misfits as their true desires become liberated from the obsessions and lies that had previously defined their worlds. This film is very French, very funny and very fulfilling.
