Summary 
The names Audrey Hepburn and Holly Golightly have become synonymous since this dazzling romantic comedy was translated to the screen from Truman Capote's best-selling novella. Holly is a deliciously eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. George Peppard plays her next-door neighbour, a writer who is "sponsored" by a wealthy Patricia Neal. Guessing who's the right man for Holly is easy. Seeing just how that romance blossoms is one of the enduring delights of this classic gem set to Henry Mancini's **Oscar**-winning score and the **Oscar**-winning Mancini-Johnny Mercer song "Moon River." Nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Audrey Hepburn), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy and Best Actress - Comedy or Musical (Audrey Hepburn) at the **Golden Globes**. Winner of Record of the Year and Song of the Year (both for "Moon River") at the **Grammy Awards**. *"A captivating flight into fancy composed of unequal dollops of comedy, romance, poignancy, funny colloquialisms and Manhattan's swankiest East Side areas captured in the loveliest of colors." - A.H. Weiler, **The New York Times*** **Editor's note:** While the iconic imagery of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless viewers worldwide, it would be remiss not to address Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi, which perpetuates a damaging caricature of Asian people found in Western classic media. Since the film's release, the filmmakers have reflected upon the inclusion of the stereotypical character, and we encourage viewers to engage in an open and thoughtful dialogue on this issue in the comment section. Rather than ignoring such representations in classic media, we hope viewers will take this opportunity to discuss the lasting effects these stereotypes can have. If you would like to learn more about Asian representation in the film industry, we recommend watching *The Slanted Screen*, *Edward Said On Orientalism*, and *Slaying the Dragon*, all available on Kanopy.

Summary 
A rediscovered French romantic comedy starring iconic ex-patriot American actress Jean Seberg. By 1961, thanks to Jean-Luc Godard's *Breathless*, Jean Seberg was the embodiment of the modern liberated woman in French New Wave circles. She carries that mantle into this gauzy romp as Claire, a romantically adventurous wife and mother who meets Antoine, a carefree womanizer, at a fashion show hosted by Claire's best friend Madeleine. Claire welcomes Antoine's advances, and they are soon enjoying weekday afternoon assignations at Antoine's swanky bachelor pad, despite the little detail that the winsome Antoine happens to be Madeleine's kept lover. Claire doesn't seem to mind deceiving Madeleine, or even leaving her staid husband at home to watch the kids. What really bothers her is the fact that Antoine is beginning to talk about marriage. Nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival *"The charming [Jean Seberg] adds a freshness to the creaky farcical complications. Her most attractive costar might be Paris itself, gorgeously rendered by Jean Penzer's sparkling black-and-white cinematography." - Ben Sachs, **Chicago Reader***
