Postcards from the South: The Films of Bonjour Tristesse

On the occasion of the theatrical release of Bonjour Tristesse, this series celebrates the beauty and myth of the Riviera, with its perceptions of familial relationships and young adulthood, that are in dialogue with–and in the realm of–this superb new film. Encompassing portraits by Varda and Vigo, stories of fathers and daughters, and solitary wanderings in a gritty port on the coast,, this program complements Bonjour Tristesse, a film simply and exquisitely of its own.
