Introduction/Grover Crisp
The brains behind the annual Reel Thing Technical Symposium, Grover Crisp discusses technological changes in the field of film preservation and exhibition. He’ll talk as much about context as content: addressing why the industry formulated a new standard for exhibition and how that impacts access to the vast libraries of older films. Followed by an introduction and screening of Bonjour Tristesse at 7:45 p.m.
Followed by:
Bonjour Tristesse
Otto Preminger (U.S., 1958)
2K Widescreen!
This Jean Seberg is not the ascetic of Saint Joan, but a haughty teenybopper idling away her extravagant summer on the Riviera. Her closest companion is her daddy, an aging playboy flawlessly tippled by David Niven. Indulgent daughter and reckless role model languish in the posh pleasure of the moment. Then Anne (Deborah Kerr) arrives, a worldly-wise woman, unlike the nymphets typically trailed by Dad. Based on Françoise Sagan’s notorious novel, Bonjour Tristesse begins in the black-and-white dreariness of a wintry Paris, then effortlessly revisits the past in a profusion of widescreen Technicolor showing off Preminger’s masterful use of color and composition.
