A pretty movie, bogged down by a slow pace and inefficient editing

It's a family relationship drama, with unanticipated consequences of hasty decisions set in summer 2024 in a resort in southern France. Cécile (Lily McInerny) is the teenage daughter of Raymond (Claes Bang). Her mother died when Cécile was young. Their vacation includes Elsa (Naïlia Harzoune), a dancer who is Raymond's latest partner. Cécile is close to Cyril (Aliocha Schneider), a neighboring summer vacationer, who is with his mother Nathalie (Nathalie Richard). Things are going smoothly until Anne (Chloë Sevigny), an old friend of Raymond and Cécile's mother, joins them. The dynamics of the vacation change because of some decisions made by Raymond and Cécile."Bonjour Tristesse" is a pretty movie, bogged down by a slow pace and inefficient editing of a story with minimal energy. Lily McInerny and Chloë Sevigny do well with rather strait-jacketed roles. The ending seems to dribble off into nothing. The scenery is great, with some good camera work.

Crisp direction, stunning cinematography. Too bad about the script.

It is a slow moving film. That is the first thing you need to know about it. Part of that problem is a script that is too subtle in parts, and the result is that any invigorating action drains away. Cécile, for example, plots to get her father out of Anne's clutches; yet the attempt doesn't resound in the way that it should. Raymond is, all of a sudden, in love with Anne -- how did that happen?Another problem arising from the script is the depiction of Elsa. She is, in the novel and in the earlier film adaptation, supposed to be flightly and vain. Not now. She comes across as the most grounded and sincere person in the film, and that throws the entire balance off. How could Raymond (who is supposed to be a playboy but is, here, depicted as a likeable, carefree man) toss her over for the stolid Anne?And Chloe Sevigny, playing Anne, seems to be doing her best to channel Geraldine Page in Interiors (a part and a movie I loved). She's too old and matronly and clunky for the part. Put her next to Elsa and you wonder what's wrong with Raymond. And there is zero chemistry between the two. Nada. None. I think that Sevigny took the part because Anne is all about fashion and style, as is Sevigny in real life.These problems aside, it's a lovely film to watch. While the three principals are dull, the supporting cast (Elsa, Cyril, and other minor roles) more than make up for it. The direction is stunning (though, yes, it could have been better edited, if only to move the proceedings along). Perhaps it might be a good idea to watch the original first (though I can't imagine David Niven as being anyone's idea of a playboy).

How the Privileged Summer

I would have rated this film higher if the director showed the audience what Anne sees. It's a key moment and we are left to rely only on the sound of voices of the people she sees.Cinematography by Maximilian Pittner captures the southern France beauty of the rough coastal cliffs. The costume design by Miyako Bellizzi makes everyone look cool.However, the story needed something more sensational or shocking to cause the twist. The scheming happens too subtly. Too abruptly we have changes in the relationships. Cécile's reaction is more boredom than sadness or jealousy. I was fascinated with watching actress Lily McInerny, who plays Cécile, but never sensed the rush of adrenaline from her character who was plotting the twist.
