She was also too unstable, unable to establish lasting bonds because she was always in transit in the world. Capote attributes to Holly a sexual ambiguity that in the film was ill-matched with the icon of style and elegance that Hepburn represented. It is something that calms me immediately, that silence and that superb air: nothing bad can happen there, not with those gentlemen dressed so well, with that nice smell of silver and crocodile wallets. I realized that to feel better, I just need to take a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. I still want to be me when I’ll wake up one fine morning and I’ll go to have breakfast at Tiffany’s. These are things I have planned, and someday I will try to reach them but, if it happens, I want to take my ego with me. I do not want to say that I do not care about becoming rich and famous. In fact he preferred Marylin, but even for the Monroe agent Holly’s character was “too much”.ĭescribed by Capote as a young escort, Holly was too young but experienced.

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun – Peter Godwin If Atkinson initially challenges credibility because Juliet slides too quickly from being a naive 18-year-old into a clever escape artist and cool conspirator, her transition into idealistic patriot and then ultimately jaded pawn in the espionage world is altogether believable. It’s in the 1970s that agents return and insist that she get back in the game as a double agent, and she realizes there’s no exit. Juliet finds herself running a safe house for a Russian defector until the war’s end, after which she lives in an unspecified location abroad for decades. Her growing realization of the serious nature of what at first seems like an “espionage lark” is made more intriguing by her attraction to her enigmatic boss. Initially recruited to transcribe secretly recorded conversations between British fascist sympathizers who think they are conspiring with the Gestapo, Juliet Armstrong is one day given an infiltration assignment (and a gun), during which she discovers an important document-and just like that, she becomes an undercover agent. Atkinson’s suspenseful novel (following A God in Ruins) is enlivened by its heroine’s witty, sardonic voice as she is transformed from an innocent, unsophisticated young woman into a spy for Britain’s MI5 during WWII. Then, finally, she returned to Los Angeles, hoping to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. Then there were years away in Ireland, sheltered and protected but with restlessness growing in her soul. First came the discovery of a betrayal that would send someone she’d trusted to prison.

The exhibition ‘A Different Vision on Fashion Photography’ at Kunsthal Rotterdam was an ode to Lindbergh’s multi-faceted oeuvre from 1978 to the present day. His oeuvre is characterised by portraits that radiate a certain lack of inhibition and physical grace. Lindbergh’s visual idiom is influenced by the language of film and by playing with the type of the strong, self-willed woman, from the femme fatale to the heroine, but also the female dancer and the actress. His timeless images redefine the norms of beauty. He introduced a new realism into photography. Lindbergh’s pure black-and-white photographs have determined the course of fashion photography since the 1980s. Peter Lindbergh is today regarded as one of the most influential fashion photographers of the past forty years.
