Jules et Jim
By François Truffaut
1h45
1961, France
Synopsis:
In the carefree days before World War I, introverted Austrian author Jules (Oskar Werner) strikes up a friendship with the exuberant Frenchman Jim (Henri Serre). Both men fall for the impulsive and beautiful Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), but it’s Jules who wins her hand. After the war, Jim visits Jules, Catherine and their daughter in their Austrian home and discovers not only that his feelings for Catherine are unchanged, but also that they’re reciprocated.
“What is so astonishing about it is not just its freshness and vitality – the feeling that life is always exciting if sometimes dangerous – but the way the young director managed to mould his characters so accurately to the events of their time.”
– The Guardian
