The new film is as timeless and charming as the original movie that inspired it
Additional reporting by Andrea Saadan.
After practically breaking the internet with her new campaign with Tiffany & Co alongside husband Jay-Z, Beyoncé continues with the luxury jewellery house’s groundbreaking About Love campaign, this time, in an intimate short film with Jay-Z with a breathtaking rendition of ‘Moon River’, famously sung by Audrey Hepburn in the iconic 1961 film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Captured on a Super 8 camera by Black Is King director Emmanuel Adjei, the film is set as a series of nostalgic flashbacks and dreamlike visuals of the Carters—who have never appeared together in a campaign prior—interwoven with Beyoncé’s spine-tingling rendition of the song. Situated in a modernist home in Bel Air against the backdrop of the robin-egg-coloured Jean-Michel Basquiat painting (which previously made an appearance in campaign photos), Beyoncé performs the ballad on piano while her husband looks on adoringly, intercut with his own personally filmed clips of Beyoncé. What you get is a raw and tender declaration of love between what just may be the biggest powerhouse couple of today.
