#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.
Recently finished #BonjourTristesse #FrançoiseSagan Three out of four stars. Might recommend. Might read again. "A strange melancholy pervades me to which I hesitate to give the grave and beautiful name of sorrow." In progress: #Mythos #StephenFry
Recently finished #BrooklynNovel #ColmTóibín Three out of four stars. Would recommend. Would read again. "Eilis Lacey, sitting at the window of the upstaris living room in the house on Friary Street, noticed her sister walking briskly from work." In progress: #BonjourTristesse #FrançoiseSagan
