Bonjour tristesse (1958)

On the French Riviera, Cécile is a decadent young girl who lives with her rich playboy father, Raymond. Anne, a mature and cultured friend of Raymond’s late wife, arrives at Raymond’s villa for a visit. Anne and Raymond become close, but Cécile finds that Anne threatens to reform the undisciplined way of life that she has shared with her father.

Despite his promises of fidelity to Anne, Raymond cannot give up his playboy life. Helped by Elsa, Raymond’s young and flighty mistress, Cécile does her best to break up the relationship with Anne. The combination of the daughter’s disdain and the father’s rakishness drives Anne to a tragic end.
