I've always meant to see Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse" since hearing Tuxedomoon's song of the same name. What an odd movie! Niven and Seberg are great as a spoiled vapid nouveau riche family. And, it includes a paraphrase of Baudelaires' "Be Always Drunken" prose poem in the script, recited by an appropriately drunk character. Nice use of color and black and white for contrast and dramatic effect, (the B&W sections are particularly beautiful).

Until a few months ago I didn't know that #HBO/ #Max has an excellent library of #classic and #ArtHouse #films.
Titles like: #Vampyr, #81/2, #BattleshipPotemkin, #M, #ThePassionOfJoanOfArc, #PantherPanchali, #MyNeighborTotoro, #BlackOrpheus, #Stalker, #WarAndPiece (all 4 volumes), #Ugetsu, #Z, #BlackGirl and a LOT more.
It's a catalog worthy of the #CriterionChannel, if you need to save money.
When I gush about #MCU and other #pop #movies, I'm using my spotty knowledge of a century of #movies
