"Crazy About Tiffany's," a new documentary film about the famous New York jewelry and luxury goods store, will premier this Thursday at the Center of Documentary Cinema.
Director Matthew Miele shares the dazzling history of Tiffany & Co. which from its opening has drawn clients both glitzy and serious. Over the years Abraham Lincoln, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe, and Steve Jobs — to name a few — have been frequent shoppers. The film shows how the company grew from a small store in New York to become a world-wide phenomenon.
Some well-known faces make appearances in the documentary, including director Baz Luhrmann ("The Great Gatsby," "Moulin Rouge!") and actress Jessica Biel ("The Illusionist," "Valentine's Day"). Author Fran Lebowitz also appear in the film along with journalist and 6-time Emmy winner Katie Couric.
Whether you're crazy about Tiffany's or you know only a little about the company, the documentary promises a sparkling treat for a warm night in Moscow.
Center of Documentary Cinema, 2 Zubovsky Bulvar, Bldg. 7. Metro Park Kultury. cdkino.ru. Thurs. June 2 at 1, 5, and 7p.m. In English with Russian subtitles.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
