Review of Jules and Jim (1962) by Michael G — 16 Nov 2007

I'd use the phrase "steaming pile of dogshit" to describe Jules and Jim but I somehow feel those words would be too kind. Far too kind. Maybe if it was titled "A Pussy, a Douchebag and a Stark Raving Lunatic Bitch" I might not be so angrily annoyed as I would have avoided this turd altogether.

In the plus column some of the camerawork was nice as was the scenery. But the characters were completely unengaging, unlikable and had no redeeming or interesting qualities at all--especially Moreau.

This is easily one of the most overrated movies in existence. The only thing that could've saved this one is if Truffaut showed France getting occupied and executing these characters in the street.

Instead you're given an ending that Cameron Crowe would rip off for Vanilla Sky. I never thought I'd say there's a movie that would make White Chicks seem appealing but I've got some words I've got to go eat now.
