Catch Audrey Tautou( Da Vinci Code, Amelie) in Priceless, the new French romantic comedy, where she plays a young gold digger who mistaken a mild-mannered bartender for a wealthy suitor. Clieck here to watch the trailer.

I went to watch this movie yesterday. Well, after all it's French movie festival season 埋去趁下熱鬧囉. When the first line showed on the screen, everyone chuckled, it was in French. No one could understand what does it means. I thought I was in the wrong cinema...

I enjoyed this French movie from start till the end. Although I don’t understand what they are talking, by looking at the actors’ face expression and motion, you can roughly know what’s happening. If you can’t read face expression very well, English subtitle are available throughout the movie, it makes the movie lots more interesting. The story line quite nice and contemporary. Unlike most of the 'commercial' one, when it start and you'll know how it gona end. I would highly recommend this movie to all of you. Please go watch it, and I'm sure you'll like it.

仁师傅 rating: 8/10
