When she finds out that he’s only a shy bartender in a posh hotel, she immediately loses interest. But Jean is in love and he follows her shamelessly to the French Riviera. Audrey Tautou (The Da Vinci Code, Amélie) and Gad Elmaleh (The Valet (COLCOA 2006), Train of Life) form a sizzling couple in this très chic comedy about love, money and ambition. Born in Tunisia, Pierre Salvadori moved to Paris at the age of seven. From his first script Wild Target (1989), a comedy about an aging hit man and a seducing art thief, to After You (COLCOA 2004), a film starring José Garcia, Daniel Auteuil and Sandrine Kiberlain, Pierre Salvadori showed a strong continuity in his work. Influenced by Ernst Lubitsch and Howard Hawks, Pierre Salvadori writes and directs witty comedies that echo Hollywood’s golden age of cinema. "Bittersweet comedy's perfectly chosen multigenerational cast ably demonstrates that if money can't buy love, it sure can purchase lots of obsequious service from four-star hotel staffers and costly goodies from laughably pricey boutiques.” (Variety) “We observe, charmed, fearing a false note. But no, everything runs smoothly. A perfect moment, priceless, indeed.” (Télérama) Followed by a Q&A with co-writer/director Pierre Salvadori
