Sellers uses simple looks and gestures to bring light to some very serious situations. At many points it’s like he’s in a trance, truly embodying Chance.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
When it comes to cinematic fashion and romance, perhaps none are more iconic than Blake Edwards’ Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Election
Took the sleaze of the teen comedy and spun it into something that’s both hugely entertaining and extremely insightful.

Occasionally interesting, always beautiful and regularly tedious, the film attempts to capture a time and a feeling yet it ultimately fails to provide the depth needed to make it wholly successful.
