BONJOUR TRISTESSE
Adapted from exceedingly French source material (the incest and jealousy- ridden debut novel by 18-yearold Françoise Sagan), this 1957 Otto Preminger film loses a lot in the erratically globalized translation. Englishy Frenchman David Niven takes his mistress (ditzy Frenchie Mylène Demongeot) to the Riviera, with his physically demonstrative fille Cécile (corn-fed American Jean Seberg) in tow. A new wife (Deborah Kerr) displaces the mistress, and the young Cécile plots revenge. Seberg is hopeless in her second leading role post- Saint Joan. Button-cute and lacking an ounce of sensuality, she seems alternately way too old (she was only 20) and way too young for a role that should have, in theory, invited such ambiguity. Still, the Riviera sparkles in flashback Technicolor, and a morose mood seems to muddy the black-andwhite present (shot on color stock). Graced with a dolorous cameo from Saint-Germain-des-Prés chanteuse Juliette Gréco, Bonjour Tristesse is very watchable, despite its tonal flaws.
