  1. #Iwatched #BonjourTristesse (1958) and it was a mixed experience. #DavidNiven and #MylèneDemongeot are obviously seasoned actors but the main role is #JeanSeberg and she's tense and controlled, even when she's having fun. Not her fault, but still. The best part is how her close companionship with her father is portrayed. The book is an Electra fantasy for hedonists and watching Niven and Seberg recklessly pursue their pleasures is charming and hilarious. The moralistic ending is best ignored.

  2. 3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]

    1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
    2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
    3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.
