Jules and Jim

Legendary French writer and director François Truffaut delivered his definitive masterpiece with this dazzling romantic drama which remains one of the pinnacles of the French New Wave. Two friends fall in love with a strong minded and free spirited woman who defies everything they stand for. Truffaut created a love triangle unlike any other which has not lost one of bit of its allure. The film defies conventions of love, morality, marriage, friendship and cinema in so many ways. The glorious Jeanne Moreau stars with an iconic performance that was and remains ahead of its times which has been imitated for decades but never equaled or surpassed. The supporting cast includes Oskar Werner and Henri Serre as guys in the title who can't help themselves to fall for the same woman. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
