Sabrina

Sabrina is an incredibly sweet film laced with romance from A to Z with many humorous moments that benefits from a smart script and performances. Audrey Hepburn was, as always, absolutely charming - I could watch her dreamy gaze and endlessly sweet smile from morning to night – Humphrey Bogart, with his typically rugged visage, was a great contrast to the fragile beauty, and he had charisma to spare. Apart from the leading couple, the film offers funny supporting characters in the form of a goofy brother with a cut backside, a perpetually smoking father craving olives, and servants with apt remarks. Story-wise, it may not be a deep and innovative film, but it is shot and acted in such a fresh and timeless way that it is irresistible even after all these long years since it was made. (14/03/2020)
