Audrey Tautou dazzles in this charming comedy that comes close to a French Breakfast At Tiffany's. Like the Chanel gowns favoured by Tautou's Irène, a deluxe hooker prowling French hotels, the film is effortlessly sexy and chic while acknowledging the baser instincts with a sly wink. Irène meets her match in Jean, a penniless waiter whom she takes for a wealthy suitor and the plot unfolds with screwball fluidity. Tautou turns on the Audrey Hepburn charm while Elmaleh's Keaton-esque expressions provide some of the film's best laughs. Sparkling, seductive, sassy fun.
