Though many directors used the studios' vast resources merely to tell stories, auteurs were breaking new ground with their use of composition, camera movement, and editing, presenting their narratives clearly enough to meet the demands of the mass audience yet artfully enough to be almost abstract works of moving light.
Otto Preminger's 1958 Bonjour Tristesse — one of the masterworks of the period — used the relatively new format of CinemaScope to present its five characters in various tableaux.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Bonjour Tristesse
Based on a popular — and notorious — novel by 17-year-old Francoise Sagan, Otto Preminger's Bonjour Tristesse (1958) is an erotic tease of a movie, a glossy fable of love and longing amongst the idle rich.
The almost incestuous closeness of Raymond and Cecile is established early on, without any dialogue alluding to it — the flashback is begun with the pair lounging in the morning sun in bathing suits, flirting and kissing, then clambering together onto the bed of the late-arising Elsa.
Bonjour Tristesse can be watched from two perspectives — simply as a frothy soap about a father/daughter/fiancée love-triangle, or as a fine example of how a brilliant director can make a story richer and more complex through the use of composition, camera movement, and color.

 Home Theater & Sound -- DVD Review -- Bonjour Tristesse - ***
Françoise Sagan's Bonjour Tristesse would hardly merit a raised eyebrow today, but its depiction of a young girl overwhelmed by adult emotions was considered really hot stuff back in the ‘50s.
What is most surprising about Otto Preminger's film treatment of the novel is how unflinchingly it tells its story.
Bonjour Tristesse is not a "great" film in the sense of having a big message or containing a career-making role, but it is a great piece of filmmaking and we are fortunate to have a DVD that finally gives it its due.

 Bonjour tristesse (1958)
Short, swift, luxuriously filmed, and perfectly cast, "Bonjour Tristesse" is the best of Preminger's many best-seller adaptations ("Advise and Consent," "Exodus").
On a formal level, the movie is beautifully constructed throughout; the blocking and movement in and out of the frame is practically balletic, especially in the fl-and-white sections.

 dOc DVD Review: Bonjour Tristesse (1958)
Freed from the constraints of the studio, he quickly developed a reputation not only as a tyrant who wanted to control every aspect of his films, but also as a producer/director who was unafraid to tackle such controversial subjects as race, drugs, and sex.
Extras Review: The original theatrical trailer for Bonjour Tristesse is in good shape, but nonanamorphic, as is the trailer for From Here to Eternity, which features the famous "kiss on the beach" scene.
Very much the product of its time, Bonjour Tristesse is an entertaining film about hedonism and sex, if rather timid as seen from the viewpoint of 45 years later.

 Bonjour Tristesse (1958): Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Jean Seberg - PopMatters Film Review
Bonjour Tristesse draws much of its visual and dramatic effectiveness from Preminger's intelligent use of the screen process of the 1950s, Cinemascope.
He often includes all three of his central characters in a single shot, achieving dramatic tension by the way they move and shift around one another.
While some may be put off by Preminger's glossy presentation of the idle rich, his direction in Bonjour Tristesse engages the mind while it stimulates the senses.

 Slant Magazine DVD Review: Bonjour Tristesse
But he's due for an upswing, and Bonjour Tristesse will be one of the cornerstones of his rejuvenated canonical standing.
A first viewing of Bonjour Tristesse (and, to some extent, many other Preminger films) tends to accentuate the seeming multitude of faults even as one revels in Preminger's remarkable filmmaking savvy.
It seems as though Preminger is working in Sirk territory, deliberately using the glossy, surface-concerned nature of Hollywood filmmaking in the '50s as a means of distancing himself from plot minutiae and looking at the larger picture.

Otto Preminger's 1958 Bonjour Tristesse--one of the masterworks of the period--used the relatively new format of CinemaScope to present its five characters in various tableaux.
Preminger chooses to end Bonjour Tristesse--a film with few close-ups, whose group shots reveal the enchantments and delusions of mostly "silly" people--with his closest shot yet.
We see a saddened Cecile in a mirror applying cold cream to her face while contemplating in voice-over the wall that her failed plotting has erected around her--thoughts admirably rendered by the empty space of the 'Scope frame surrounding her head.
