Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Audrey Hepburn num vestidinho preto, óculos de sol de olhar perdido numa montra de jóias é uma imagem ícone do cinema. Infinitamente reproduzida em posteres que enchem paredes de decoração "retro" ou apenas em quartos de adolescentes sonhadoras.
Mas Breakfast at Tiffany's é mais do que essa imagem e no entanto é menos do que o conto de

Truman Capote que lhe serviu de base.
Porque este filme quis ser uma comédia romântica, cheia de classe é certo, mas ainda assim sem do rasgo de originalidade de Capote.

Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul Varjak: Sure.
Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!



Holly Golightly: I'll tell you one thing, Fred, darling... I'd marry you for your money in a minute. Would you marry me for my money?
Paul Varjak
: In a minute.
Holly Golightly
: I guess it's pretty lucky neither of us is rich, huh?
Paul Varjak
: Yeah.
