Details
Spanning two decades at the start of the 20th century, Jules & Jim follows the lives of two inseparable friends – timid German, Jules (Oskar Werner), and gregarious Parisian, Jim (Henri Serre) – and their shared love of the beautiful, capricious Catherine, played in mesmerising, luminous style by Jeanne Moreau.
Overcoming the destructive rift of World War I the trio create a new life for themselves, away from the structures imposed by society. But as the idyllic ménage à trois begins to succumb to jealousy and rivalry their idealised existence finds itself slowly buckling under pressure.
Frequently hailed as one of the greatest films ever made, Jules & Jim is a dazzling, boldly original tale of love, friendship and the vagaries of history that combines romance, comedy and tragedy in breathtaking, near-perfect dramatic harmony.
