A trailer has been unleashed for the remake of “Bonjour Tristesse,” which is coming to theaters later this year with Chloe Sevigny, Claes Bang, Lily McInerny, Nailia Harzoune, and Aliocha Schneider among the cast.
The family drama takes place in the picturesque French seaside during the summer, where a daughter tries to drive a hostile family friend from their family gathering while also meddling in her father’s love life with tragic consequences.
Written and directed by Durga Chew-Bose, the movie is based on the French novella of the same name by Françoise Sagan and was previously turned into a film in 1958 that was helmed by director Otto Preminger.
An official synopsis for the upcoming pic from Greenwich Entertainment:
At the height of summer, 18-year-old Cécile (McInerny) is languishing by the French seaside with her handsome father, Raymond (Bang), and his girlfriend, Elsa (Naïlia Harzoune), when the arrival of her late mother’s friend, Anne (Sevigny), changes everything. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their surroundings, Cécile’s world is threatened, and, desperate to regain control, she sets in motion a plan to drive Anne away with tragic consequences. An adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s unforgettable coming-of-age novel by the same title, Durga Chew-Bose’s Bonjour Tristesse masterfully captures the complexity of relationships between women and how they wield influence over one another’s fates.
The film’s new trailer can be viewed below and will be hitting select theaters on May 2.
