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).

I'm watching James Baldwin On-Screen on The #CriterionChannel

I just finished watching #Baldwin's #Nigger, #1968 (the meaning is profound) and James is brilliant.

I love Dick Gregory's explanation of "white liberal", which every #white person, and #Black "#moderate" and #conservative, should consider and internalize.
