Jules et Jim (Re)

France 1962, 106 mins
Director: Francois Truffaut
Starring: Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, Henri Serre, Marie Dubois

Synopsis

This special re-release of Truffaut’s much-loved New Wave classic celebrates the 80th birthday of Jeanne Moreau, one of the most riveting and risk-taking screen actresses of all time.

JULES ET JIM sees her at her most ebullient as Catherine, a Parisian beauty caught up in a complex ménage à trois with the two friends of the title – one German (Werner), the other French (Serre) – just before World War One.

A romantic roller-coaster of a movie, it’s fast, funny, stylish and affecting.
