Interview
Françoise Sagan (1935-2004)

"How do you explain the enormous popularity of your novels all over the world?"
Sagan: I don't explain it.

"Why are your books filled with melancholy, a certain sadness, as French say, 'tristesse'?"
Sagan: I don't think my books are sad.

Continued thread

the FBI (more specifically, j edgar hoover) had a good go at ruining her because **she supported civil rights, indigenous peoples & the black panther party**. they planted vicious stories in 
newspapers & sought to slander her.
ultimately, they succeeded. by 1979, she’d had enough & went out on her own terms. alongside her work in ‘lilith’, ‘la ligne de demarcation’, ‘pendulum’ & ‘bonjour tristesse’, i hope the world remembers her very kind heart & fierce soul.

Continued thread

she was just another midwest, corn-fed starlet without any real substance, right? nope - & **she’s never really had the credit she merits** - for enduring.
for her emotional strength against abusive partners, both professional & amorous.
for her talent & for her compassion. 
jean wanted a just world, so i'll do my bit to ensure that nobody forgets that. she joined the NAACP when she was 13 &, when she made her money, jean gave it to organisations that were fighting for equality.

Kristen Stewart – „Jean Seberg – Against All Enemies“ (2019)

Sie können mir erzählen, was Sie wollen. Ich halte Kristen Stewart für die derzeitig aufregendste Frau im (amerikanischen) Filmgeschäft. Vielleicht weil sie mir das erste Mal an der Seite von Jodie Foster aufgefallen ist – und da war sie eigentlich noch ein Kind. Ich sehe in ihr jedenfalls eine würdige Nachfolgerin eben jener meiner persönlichen Filmgöttinen. (ARD)

3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]

1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.

The original Airport (1970) is quite different from the sequels. It isn't a disaster movie as such. It's an aviation thriller (and a good one) but mostly it's a typical Ross Hunter-produced melodrama. And it's thoroughly enjoyable melodrama.
