Jules et Jim

Jules et Jim

This weekend I watched Jules et Jim.

I’ve attempted it in the past and I always fell asleep…I finally got past the running across the bridge scene in Jules and Jim, only to make it to the final bridge scene. Oof! I was not prepared. Francois Truffault’s French New Wave film tells the story of kindred spirits Jules and Jim, and their mutual obsession with the enigmatic Catherine, a doomed menage â trois from the start.

I will say the fashion is something special. I loved the cozy knits and old fashioned striped swimsuits. I totally fell for it. I’ll probably even watch it again, even if it did pull on my heart a little. Le sigh…

  • I always cry…even if I saw million times, always I’m not prepared!
    I love old movies, the hair, the mood, and the costume.

  • Hi Brie,

    I think you will love “Pierrot le Fou” directed by François Truffaut with Anna Karina and belmondo! Love French movies from the 60’s – the nouvelle vague era – : lots of irony, humor, lightness and there’s the aesthetism that looks real and genuine : not too much and under control. J’aime, j’aime, j’aime!

  • … “Pierrot le fou” de Godard !

  • Merci A. ! C’est bien d Godard oui !

  • Don’t forget the music!

  • Jules et Jim is one of my favorite books, I’ve read it at least 3-4 times and every time I did it I found it even more beautiful. Honestly, I saw the movie only once and I didn’t like it. Maybe it’s the same old story, when you loved a book so much the movie always disappoint you.
    So, I suggest you to read the book, it’s full of beautiful statements!

  • Mythique ! “Elle avait des bagues à chaque doigt, des tas de bracelets autour des poignets…..” c’était la chanson que j’avais choisi pour mon concours d’entrée au Cours Florent ! :-)

    If you like François Truffaut, you should watch “Le dernier métro” and “Vivement Dimanche” with Fanny Ardant. She is so graceful! Both are easier to watch than “Jules et Jim”. I strongly urge you to watch “Les diaboliques” by Henri Georges Clouzot. It’s definitely a masterpiece!!!

  • I’ve always wanted to watch this movie, so after reading your post, I will have to watch it this weekend!

    she’s my older sister in spirit…became friends when she lived in new york….she’s a women’s women

  • I’ve watched this movie some months ago and really liked it. Catherine captured me in a very interesting way. She is a typical hysterical women, who doesn’t know what she wants and at the same time wants everyone. The fashion is very nice indeed!

  • De l’avantage d’être “jeune” : pouvoir découvrir des chefs-d’oeuvre :-D

  • Apostille : dans la même veine, regarder “La femme d’à coté” de Truffaut ;-)

  • Honte à moi, je ne connaissais pas ce film! Je vais vite me remettre à niveau

    Le fils d’Hélène et Jules, c’est Stéphane Hessel, qui a écrit le fameux livre “Indignez-vous”.

  • I had to read the book for English Literature and felt it such a bore at school but, later in life I had to watch the film and must say to me it was everything I wanted in a french film, Love triangle, great scenery and fabulous fashion …… with love from sojustnice.com
