Director: Blake EdwardsRating:9/10
It's one of my favourite novella, it's one of my favourite movies of all times, it has the BEST posters any movie can ever have and its soundtrack plays in my head all the time! To top it all, it has Audrey Hepburn, a woman I literally worship to the point of blasphemy! How could I not gush over this movie on my first movie review blog?
Why 9/10 then, you'd ask? Well, because the book's better! Moist books always are! Breakfast at Tiffany's starts with Paul Varjak, a struggling writer and a kept man of a wealthy woman, who meets Holiday Golightly (Holly), a charming, seductive socialite, who is unpredictable as the weather (yes, if you follow my book-reviews, too, you'd know I have said this earlier as well!). She visits Mr Sally Tomato at Sing Sing every Thursday to bring funny weather reports, she lives in a small cramped up apartment that's usually messy, she throws out parties where EVERYONE in New York are invited and she owns a cat called CAT because she feels she has no right to name it because people don't belong to each other. As she tries to escape her past and live the vagabond life she is so much in love with, she does some incredibly funny things with Paul, like getting a Kracker-Jack ring carved at Tiffany's, stealing from a department store and finally ends up finding her place in the world where she truly belongs.
Of course, Holly does a LOT more in the book and continues to live a vagabond life in the book but that's still no reason not to like the movie. You may not like the obvious end where love is an end of everything but a very few would be unimpressed by Audrey Hepburn and her winsome charm as the most hilarious heroine of all times!
No parental guidance needed. Not really!
