Funny Face (1957) ~ Bennie Robinson

Immediately love the aesthetic!
Is this what The Devil Wears Prada is based on?
blood and brains and bozazz
Pink!!
You could convince me that this came out in the 80s — the 80s makeup is so late 50s-60s
“Look at her, she’s reading.”
Fred Astaire is just pushing Audrey Hepburn around like she’s nobody. He underreacts to everything!
“Do you know what empathy is?”
They fucking assault her. It’s impossible to be on their side!
“Bring her back here, girls! Alive!”
Gershwin was not cooking with this one.
Oh, but the dancing…
I love a surprise choir of boys
Its deeply fucked that they went to Paris and Astaire bought Napa Valley wine.
An iconic dance by Hepburn in the beat poet den.
This movie crushes the live sets that feel like stage sets.
“I thought you’d be old!” She has such a daddy thing
I don’t like the Voodoo song sung by two white people
Ultimately, it’s a movie where Audrey Hepburn gets to wear many pretty dresses.
What happened to the pink theme? I wanted all these dresses to be pink!
“I love every broken bone in your body” sounds like a Sufjan Stevens lyric.
“S’Wonderful” is from this?
Oh, there’s a 1927 Funny Face musical that only four songs from it made it to this movie.
