Review of Jules and Jim (1962) by Ian R — 04 Jul 2013
Pure cinema, one of the great french new wave films. Jules et Jim is the total existential romance. Jeanne Moreau makes the film single handedly as nothing matters to her, love is a game, who she loves is not important as long as she loves.
It is just a compulsion. In an act as quotidian as tying her shoe she drives off a bridge to show that her love means nothing and he means nothing to her and it does not matter if they live or die because all is an illusion.
Everything about this film is wonderful, fresh, breezy, full of life. One of the best films about love, ever.
