The biographical film about Audrey Hepburn, titled Dinner With Audrey, has released its first official images. Thomasin McKenzie portrays Hepburn and Ansel Elgort plays designer Hubert de Givenchy. Directed by Abe Sylvia, the film focuses on their four-decade friendship, set in Paris in 1953, when Hepburn was 24 years old and on the brink of fame.
Filming and the visual recreation of 1953 Paris 🎬
The production has used natural lighting techniques and historical costumes to recreate the era's aesthetic. The production design relies on archival photographic references to reproduce Givenchy's studios and Parisian streets. The cinematography employs anamorphic lenses to capture the texture of classic celluloid, aiming for a visual finish that evokes 1950s cinema without resorting to excessive digital filters.
When your designer friend dresses you to conquer the world 👗
Seeing an insecure Hepburn and a young Givenchy resolving wardrobe doubts promises more than a few tense moments. Because, let's be honest, we've all had that friend who lends us clothes for an important date and then looks at us with an expression of approval or total disaster. The difference is that Givenchy lent her dresses to conquer Hollywood, not for a coffee downtown.
