Funny Face

A timeless classic set in the world of fashion, Funny Face brings Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire together in a charming musical that mixes romance and comedy. Jo, a shy intellectual who works in a bookshop in New York, spends her days dreaming about Paris and a new philosophical theory on empathy. When she meets Dick, a photographer, he sees her as the new muse for a fashion magazine. Reluctant, but seduced by the opportunity to travel to Paris, the young woman embarks on an adventure where the sophistication of haute couture and her intellectual ideals collide drastically. With stunning visuals, Givenchy costumes and an unforgettable soundtrack, Funny Face is also one of Almodóvar's favourite films — evoked in the opening scene of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
