The American Cinematheque at the Aero Theatre presents a sneak preview of the new film Priceless, starring Audrey Tautou (Amélie, The Da Vinci Code), as part of a special double-dip of her work on Wednesday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. A fresh re-imagining of Breakfast at Tiffany’s from director Pierre Salvadori, French import Priceless stars Gad Elmaleh as Jean, a shy young bartender who is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful, scheming opportunist named Irene (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. Following Priceless, at 9:30 p.m., is a special screening of Tautou’s breakthrough international hit Amélie, from filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
