Jules et Jim TrailerPG106 min
Synopsis
Two friends fall for the same woman (Jeanne Moreau) in this effervescent French drama set at the time of the Great War. Considered a New Wave masterpiece Jules and Jim has long been a touchstone for filmmakers and cinephiles alike. Truffaut's use of rapid cutting and relentless voiceover, alongside Georges Delerue's score, is still so exhilarating and inventive that Martin Scorsese later admitted Goodfellas, Casino, and The Wolf of Wall Street were his attempts to replicate this brash cinematic freedom.
But this film is as much substance as it is style, exploring sex, friendship, love, masculinity, war and Paris in a poetic and often heart-wrenching manner. All of which it achieves while revolving around the most amicable ménage à trois in movie history.
