Françoise Sagan’s 1954 novel, Bonjour Tristesse, is a bittersweet coming-of-age tale synonymous with the sun-drenched beauty of the French Riviera. What sets it apart from similar tales in the genre is the fact it was written when the author herself was just 18 years old, giving it a freshness of perspective that caught the attention of readers and Hollywood.

My favourite film of 2024 is finally coming to theatres this Friday, courtesy of @MongrelMedia . Marianne Jean-Baptiste is stunning in Mike Leigh's #HardTruths, as is the entire supporting cast. See it if you can (and check out my review for @ThatShelf ⬇️)
Mike Leigh's #HardTruths is a stunning, compassionate portrait of humanity likely to be counted among his very best. Marianne Jean-Baptiste's performance is unforgettable. https://t.co/tPlCO6FBBu @MongrelMedia
