Sabrina (1995 film)

“The most iconic summer on the North Shore of Long Island movie (apologies to the original--also excellent but this captures the season the way no other movie could! And I can say that because I'm related to Bogie). The scene when Greg Kinnear picks Julia Ormond up from the Locust Valley train station and drives her back to Dosoris Lane (really Dosoris Island) is everything.”

“maybe the best remake of all time?”

“pops of red, witty banter, drama! it is one of the greatest movies of all time.”

“Sabrina (1995) is a perfect rainy day movie with it's once upon a time fairytale quality and the multitude of incredible interiors (plus an obviously star-studded lead cast supported by some amazing character actors who hadn't quite broken through. Succession fans look out for J. Smith-Cameron!) The Larrabee family estate is obviously stunning - we get a little tour in the opening scenes - but for my money I'm honestly more tempted by the Fairchilds' apartment above the garage with its English country house feel. It feels like a place where the dog would be welcome on the sofa. Slightly tatty, overstuffed upholstery (check), stacks on stacks of books (check), wonderful Federal style millwork and fireplace (check), mixed plaid and striped textiles (check). I could move right in.”
