Funny Face
Directed by Stanley Donen
1957
★ 3.0 editorial score
Richard Avedon served as visual consultant and shot the photographs himself: Audrey Hepburn is a bookshop clerk turned Paris model, and the darkroom sequence is the most beautiful red ever filmed.
“It is reasonable to reckon that you won't see a prettier musical film—or one more extraordinarily stylish—during the balance of this year...The eye is intoxicated with exquisite color designs and graphic production numbers that are rich in sensory thrills...A lot of fine outdoor shots were made in Paris—in the springtime and in the rain. If you try hard, you can smell horse-chestnut blossoms. That is the sort of film this is.”
