  2. Blake Edwards – „Frühstück bei Tiffany“ (1961)

    Das ikonische Standbild kennt jede:r: Audrey Hepburn in schwarzem Kleid, mit Zigarettenspitze, Hochsteckfrisur, Perlenkette, vor dem Schaufenster von Tiffany & Co., einsam wie ein Denkmal. Ein Bild, das sich in das kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt hat wie ein Werbeplakat für eine Zukunft, die nie kam. Ein Bild, das – so feministisch man(n) sich auch bemüht – leider nicht verschwinden will. Es ist schön und es ist gefährlich. Weil es so tut, als würde es etwas erzählen, das es in Wahrheit verschweigt. (3Sat, Wh.)
