Priceless(Hors De Prix) - The movie indeed is priceless :)

French movies have a certain aura about themselves a something special a something original and fresh to the core and this movie just proves it so right.

The story in short is about a gold digger who mistakenly woos a mild-mannered bartender thinking he's a wealthy suitor as simple and predictable it might sound with it twist,turns and pleasant surprises this movie sure is a romantic roller coaster ride and quite a playful one at that :)

Audrey Tautou as Irene the Gold digger moving from one elderly man to another is superb her dream of seducing one elderly man for marriage comes closer but for the uncontrollable one night stand she has with an younger man mars her marriage plans as well as haute fashion label dropping, living the high life in expensive hotel suites, for free.

An awesome movie not to be missed loved it :)

La Vie en Rose - Beautiful story of rags to riches and self destruction somewhere in between

Based on the life of the legendary and extraordinary story of Edith Piaf, this truly is a beautiful story of rags to riches,the struggle and enormous success but self destruction somewhere seeps in and a beautiful life is cut short and leaves behind loads of memories which is depicted beautifully and in the most realistic manner.
One has to be of a different caliber altogether to be growing up in filthy whorehouse and then live in the streets and grow up to become a legend of a singer.
When Martion Cotillard had got Oscar in 2008 for this performance of hers I used to wonder but at the same time was sure she must have done a great job and boy was I right,she deserved every bit of the Oscar she had got for this one.
The story keeps shuttling between her youth, her adulthood and her last days and each stage is equally painful but yet beautiful.
Really nothing can be more painful than success with self destruction.
Watch it if you appreciate good cinema apart from the run of the mill stuff as well

Three Colors:Red- Confusing or may be I need to watch the complete triology

Wondering now why I started to watch this movie but I think I would have understood this better had I seen the other two movies which is part of the trilogy.

Apparently the parts of this trilogy was Blue and White.In BLUE, Juliette Binoche played a grieving widow whose plan to live her life without connections to the past had her meet someone unexpected. In WHITE, an act of cruelty spawns an unlikely friendship between two men who will, against the odds, conspire to bring the perpetrator to justice and full circle.

This movie is about weird people and weird situations in life the best part of this movie is the actress Irene Jacob extremely pretty and extremely expressive,emoting so well from her eyes alone.

Sorry for once I kind of failed of failed to understand a movie and no surely will not recommend it :)
