Description of this Jules Et Jim Poster
Jules et Jim is a 1962 French New Wave romantic drama film, directed, produced and co-written by François Truffaut. The film is set before and after World War I and depicts a tragic love triangle involving French bohemian Jim (Henri Serre), his shy Austrian friend Jules (Oskar Werner), and Jules' girlfriend and then wife, Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). ).
The film is based on the 1953 semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roché describing his relationship with the young writer Franz Hessel and Helen Grund, whom Hessel married. Truffaut discovered the book in the mid-1950s while leafing through second-hand books in a store along the Seine in Paris. He then became friends with old Roché, who had published his first novel at the age of 74. The author approves of the young director's interest in adapting his work to another medium.
The film won the 1962 French Cinema Grand Prix, the Étoile de Cristal, and Jeanne Moreau received the Best Actress award that year. The film was ranked 46th in Empire magazine's list of the 100 best films of world cinema in 2010.
The film takes place before, during and after the Great War, in different regions of France, Austria and Germany. Jules (Oskar Werner) is a shy Austrian writer who befriends Jim (Henri Serre), a more extroverted Frenchman. They share an interest in the world of arts and the bohemian lifestyle. During a slide show, they are fascinated by the bust of a goddess and her serene smile. They go to an island in the Adriatic Sea to see the ancient statue.
After meeting several women, they meet Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), a free and capricious woman, a double of the statue with a serene smile. The three of them become inseparable. Although she begins a relationship with Jules, both men are affected by her presence and her attitude to life. Jim continues to maintain a relationship with his girlfriend Gilberte, whom he generally sees apart from others. A few days before the declaration of war, Jules and Catherine left to get married in Austria. Both men served during the war, on opposing sides; Each fears throughout the conflict of being confronted by the other or of learning that he may have killed his friend.
After separation during the war, Jim visits Jules and Catherine at their chalet in the Black Forest and later stays there. Jules and Catherine then have a little daughter, Sabine. Jules confides the tensions that reign in their relationship. He tells Jim that Catherine torments and sometimes punishes him by having numerous affairs, and that she once left him with Sabine for three months.
She flirts and tries to seduce Jim, who has never forgotten her. Jules, fearing that Catherine will leave him forever, gives his blessing for Jim to marry Catherine so that he can continue to visit them and see her. For a time, the three adults live happily with Sabine in the cabin, until tensions arise between Jim and Catherine due to their inability to have a child.
Jim leaves Catherine and returns to Paris. After several exchanges of letters between Catherine and Jim, they decide to meet again when Catherine learns that she is pregnant. The reunion does not take place because Jules writes to Jim to tell him that Catherine has had a miscarriage.
Some time later, Jim meets Jules in Paris. He learns that Jules and Catherine have returned to France. Catherine tries to win Jim back, but he pushes her away, saying that he is going to marry Gilberte. Furious, she threatens him with a gun, but he grabs it and flees. Later, he meets Jules and Catherine in a famous cinema (at the time), the Studio des Ursulines.
The three of them stop at an outdoor café. Catherine asks Jim to get into her car, saying she has something to tell him. She asks Jules to watch them and drives the car from a damaged bridge into the river, killing herself and Jim. Jules must bury the ashes of his friends in the columbarium of the Père-Lachaise cemetery; Catherine wanted her ashes scattered in the wind from a hilltop, but at the time this was not legal.
