Review of Jules and Jim (1962) by Corey N — 23 Jun 2007
In Paris, 1900, two friends, Jules (Austrian) and Jim (French) fall in love with the same woman, Catherine.
But Catherine loves and marries Jules. After WWI, when they meet again in Germany, Catherine starts to love Jim...
This is the story of three people in love, a love which does not affect their friendship, and about how their relationship evolves with the years.....
One of the most enigmatic pictures ever to be released, this film is the epitome of cool whilst watching the on screen chemistry between the menage a trois. for a 'talky film it is highly erotic in places and the tension between the two titular characters becomes unbearable toward the end.
Played with fantastic bravura by the three leads, the film is poignant, passionate and exuberantly directed by Truffaut and is one of the best of the 'nouvelle vague' entries.
This has to be seen. as important as anything in the Louvre or any poem written, simply beautiful.
