PRICELESS
"Priceless is the kind of graceful, old-fashioned
confection that Hollywood has forgotten how to make."
- John Powers, VOGUE
Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender,
is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful seductress
named Irene (Audrey Tautou). When Irene
discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only
to find that a love-struck Jean has no intention of
letting her get away. Jean’s comical attempts
to gain her affections gradually evolve into setting
himself up as a gigolo at a luxury hotel, until Irene
finally starts to warm to her persistent, persuasive
suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the
south of France, Pierre Salvadori (APRES
VOUS) directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic
comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining of the cinema
classic, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S. French with
subtitles. Rated PG-13. 113 minutes.

THE VISITOR
"Best movie I've seen so far this year?
Hands down, it's Tom McCarthy's superb The Visitor,
which turns Richard Jenkins, one of the best character
actors in the business, into a full-fledged star."
- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
In Tom McCarthy’s follow-up to
his award-winning directorial debut The Station
Agent, Richard Jenkins (Six
Feet Under) stars as a disillusioned Connecticut
economics professor whose life is transformed by a chance
encounter in New York City. Sixty-two-year-old Walter
Vale (Jenkins) is sleepwalking through his life. When
his college sends him to Manhattan to attend a conference,
Walter is surprised to find a young couple has taken
up residence in his apartment. Victims of a real estate
scam, Tarek (Haaz Sleiman), a Syrian
man, and Zainab (Danai Gurira), his
Senegalese girlfriend, have nowhere else to go. In the
first of a series of tests of the heart, Walter reluctantly
allows the couple to stay with him. Rated PG-13.
103 minutes.
