Breakfast at Tiffany's

It was a classic and an Audrey Hepburn movie I hadn’t seen.

Too bad about the racist faux-Japanese-upstairs-neighbor scenes; Hepburn at a mysterious remove—why is she so neurotic?—playing with an irresistible understatedness; her eroticism is real, not forced (as it is in some of her movies); funny and moving; cinematography (crowded NYC apartment, streets) un-stagey, energetic.
