Queen Audrey
The FilmMuseum here in Amsterdam is having an Audrey Hepburn festival this summer. Last week I got to see Funny Face again and was once again amazed by the strange mixture of mainstream-mush, out-and-out kitsch and the odd subversive strain.
I'm hoping to also get around to seeing Roman Holiday. Whereas Breakfast at Tiffany's I think I'll have to miss this time. I always associate it now with outdoor screenings in the summer at the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne so I don't know if I can bear to see it in a cinema again. Its irrevocably linked to champagne and picnics and summer evenings!
Meanwhile, tonight, its Paris when it Sizzles which I think i'll miss. But thats the thing with babies. You can't go everynight!
