Tristesse (2021): cast, story & where to watch
2021 · Film
Released in 2021, Tristesse is a drama film directed by Emilio Ruiz Barrachina, running about 104 minutes. “A filmmaker is attacked for directing a controversial film and must decide between retiring or moving on despite enemies.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Film director Juan Bravo is in a deep, existential funk: his latest film has been vilified by critics, and his friends, relatives and even business associates are wasting no time in badmouthing him. He seeks refuge in the city of Oviedo, Asturias, wandering the empty streets at night, going to parties that are veritable circuses full of wannabes, and attending concerts and religious and traditional ceremonies as he seeks inspiration for his next film. He reminisces about his childhood but, most importantly, that strange woman who asked him to visit her at her apartment at precisely 10 p.m., not one minute more, nor one minute less.
Who’s in it. Tristesse stars Enrique Simón as Juan Bravo, Miguelo García as Jacinto, Rebecca Arrosse as Mujer de negro and Michel Díaz as Juan joven, among others.
