NEW YORK -- IDP sister distributors Samuel Goldwyn Films and Roadside Attractions scored two Berlin pickups Wednesday, with Goldwyn nabbing all U.S. rights to the Audrey Tautou-led French romantic farce Priceless and Roadside grabbing North American theatrical rights to the spiritual chef docu How to Cook Your Life.
Pierre Salvadori's Priceless, which has grossed more than $15 million since its December opening in France, stars Tautou as a French Riviera gold digger who mistakes a poor hotel bartender (Gad Elmaleh) for a potential sugar daddy. After she learns the truth and abandons him, he turns from an obsessed suitor into her willing protege, learning the ropes of being a gigolo to win her heart.
Doris Dorrie's Life follows San Francisco-based Zen priest and cookbook author Edward Espe Brown as he relates the connection between Zen Buddhism, cooking and how we live our lives. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival.
