A Deep Dive Into the Plot
Set against the idyllic backdrop of the French seaside, Bonjour Tristesse follows 18-year-old Cécile (played by Lily McInerny), who is spending a languid summer with her charming father, Raymond (Claes Bang), and his girlfriend, Elsa (Naïlia Harzoune). Their tranquil existence is disrupted with the arrival of Anne (Chloë Sevigny), an old friend of Cécile’s late mother. What begins as a peaceful summer soon takes a dark turn as Cécile, feeling her world slipping away, concocts a plan to push Anne out of their lives, setting off a chain of tragic events.
Behind the Scenes
Durga Chew-Bose, who also penned the screenplay, brings her unique vision to the screen in this adaptation. Bonjour Tristesse is produced by Babe Nation Films, with Lindsay Tapscott, Katie Bird Nolan, and Elevation Pictures overseeing production.
Understanding the Art of Movie Trailers
A movie trailer serves as a concise, emotionally charged preview designed to capture the audience’s interest. Typically lasting no more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, trailers highlight the most compelling aspects of a film without revealing key plot points. For Bonjour Tristesse, the trailer conveys the simmering tension and beauty of the sun-drenched coastal setting, drawing viewers into the emotional and dramatic core of the story.
While trailers are crafted long before a film’s final cut, they are pivotal in generating anticipation. The combination of stirring visuals and evocative music is designed to immerse viewers and spark curiosity about the full film.
Release Date
Bonjour Tristesse will be released in select U.S. theaters by Greenwich Entertainment on May 2, 2025.
