Jean (Elmaleh), a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful seductress named Irène (Tautou, AMELIE). When she discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that the 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 Irène finally starts to warm to her persistent, persuasive suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the south of France, Pierre Salvadori (APRÈS VOUS) directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining of the classic BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S.
Classic adaptation of the Truman Capote novel with Audrey Hepburn as the Manhattan callgirl Holly Golightly who has an on-off relationship with Peppard’s writer, who is himself juggling an affair with a wealthy patroness.
