Bonjour Tristesse

The Brief

If you’re not ready to let go of summer – or youth – Bonjour Tristesse is the film for you. Set on the French Riviera, it follows Cécile and her wealthy playboy father Raymond, whose idyllic holiday unravels when an old family friend arrives. Based on Françoise Sagan’s 1954 novel, it’s a stylish, sensual, and unsettling portrait of love, jealousy, and the desire to hold on to a carefree life – with stunning cinematography, exquisite costumes, and a lingering soundtrack.
