Crazy about Tiffany’s **
Dir: Matthew Miele.
With: Jessica Biel, Katie Couric, Fran Lebowitz, Baz Luhrmann. 86 mins. Cert:
15
This is effectively a
ninety-minute ad for a superstore: it could have been Wild about Wilko were that estimable outlet shipping shiny stones
to the 1% instead of marked-down scourers to the rest of us. Inevitably, it’s a
blue-chip, high-end promo, recruiting Jessica Biel and Baz Luhrmann to gush
about the Manhattan jewellers’ elaborate brooches. Still, amid its slick
melding of sparkly bits from 2009’s Bride
Wars, relentless “Moon River” and input from solitary hitmakers Deep Blue
Something, little is allowed to puncture the prevailing air of
self-congratulation for enabling two centuries of conspicuous consumption. No
2016 release will be further out of step with the times.
Crazy About Tiffany's is now playing in selected cinemas.
