Summary: A short, simple film, taking place entirely in a modern-day café, Tristesse Beau Visage is nevertheless lushly photographed, mainly in black-and-white, composed like a Pre-Raphaelite painting (Millais and Rossetti frame the film in the opening and closing credits). Supported by the romantic sweep of Chausson, Monteverdi and Gluck, the film more than effectively illustrates its purpose.
