Bonjour Tristesse: Durga Chew-Bose on Directing the Stunning New Adaptation

🎬 BONJOUR TRISTESSE: A Bold New Vision from Durga Chew-Bose | Inside the Arthouse 🎥

Join us for a compelling conversation with first-time screenwriter and director Durga Chew-Bose, whose powerful debut feature film adaptation of BONJOUR TRISTESSE is turning heads across the indie film world.

📚 Originally a groundbreaking 1954 novel by Françoise Sagan, Bonjour Tristesse shocked readers with its bold exploration of a young woman’s sexual awakening. Now, decades later, Chew-Bose brings a deeply emotional and visually stunning reimagining to the big screen. With its Merchant Ivory-style elegance—gorgeous costumes, striking cinematography, and breathtaking locations—this film premiered to acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival and is now playing in theaters nationwide.

🎧 On this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we dive into the process of adapting this controversial classic, and what it means to bring a female voice to a historically male-directed narrative. Chew-Bose’s journey from acclaimed essayist to indie filmmaker is nothing short of inspiring.
