Gigi (1958)

For the 1958 Best Picture winner “Gigi”, James & Steve explore the film’s relevance for contemporary audiences. Set in early 20th-century Paris, the movie follows a young girl being groomed for a life of romance, raising questions about gender roles and societal expectations. Despite the lush visuals and charming musical numbers, does its outdated themes of commodifying relationships still resonate?

Does Gigi stand the test of time and deserve it’s place in Oscar history?
