| Jules and Jim | comment |
Jules and Jim (Fr: Jules et Jim) is a 1962 film directed by François Truffaut, adapted from the novel of the same name by Henri-Pierre Roché (Truffaut would later adapt his Two English Girls). It is commonly considered one of the most important films of the French New Wave and one of the key films of The '60s.Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) are, respectively, Austrian and French writers who meet in 1912 Paris. They form a fast friendship, enjoying the Bohemian life of pre-war Paris and catting around with various women. Eventually Jules falls in love with fiery, strong-willed Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). They marry not long before World War I separates Jules and Jim for four years.The old friends look each other up after the war ends. Jim senses distance between Catherine and Jules, and Jules admits that Catherine has grown bored with him and has been cheating on him right and left. In fact, Catherine is on the verge of leaving him for another man. A desperate Jules asks Jim to claim Catherine for himself so Jules won't lose her. Jim, who has been carrying a torch for Catherine for years, readily agrees, and the three of them live together for a while, until jealousy and Catherine's emotional instability shatter their happiness. | |

Title Drop: Our heroes are introducing themselves to a girl. To make sure of their names, she askes, "Jim and Jules?" The response? "No, Jules and Jim!" | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Not enough jealousy in this film. But Gilberte admits to being jealous of Jim and Catherine's relationship, and Catherine is violently possessive of Jim. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jules and Jim form a deep and lasting friendship. So deep and lasting that they can remain friends even when their countries fight a war against each other, and later, while both sleeping with the same woman. | |

Gratuitous English: Catherine's mother was British. While explaining to the boys some crackpot theory she read about the Earth being inside a hollow shell, she veers into English for one line, for no apparent reason. | |

Idiosyncratic Wipe: In one scene where Jim is looking out a window, the film cuts to a black screen, except for one small rectangle where the window is. The rectangle then expands out to show the whole screen. | |

Actor Allusion: When Jim first visits Jules' home in Austria, Catherine shows him a picture of Jules costumed as Mozart. Oskar Werner, the actor who plays Jules, also portrayed Mozart in an earlier film. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl | |
| Jules and Jim / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: A very dark version. As compelling as she is, Catherine's joie-de-vivre seems to come out of self-centered sociopathy. The questionable aspects of her behavior escalate until she kills herself and Jim by driving them off a bridge in her car out of sheer whimsy. Indeed in an interview, Truffaut hung a proto-Lampshade on it: | |

Foreshadowing: The trio is casually strolling along the Seine when Jules makes some sexist comments. Catherine suddenly flings herself into the river, and the boys have to dive in to get her. At the end of the movie, Catherine drives her car into the river with Jim inside, committing murder-suicide. | |

Mood Whiplash: The movie became famous for its incredible shifts in tone. It starts out happy, with fast editing, jump cuts and fun, and then it gets serious, melancholy and sad, and the editing gets slower and more moody. | |

Polyamory: Jules, Jim, and Catherine make a stab at one. In and of itself, polyamory is deemed acceptable, but "pioneers must be humble and unselfish," and Catherine's selfishness and jealousy results in a murder-suicide. | |

Sleeping Single: Unlike most films made in America during The Hays Code, in this movie there's a reason that Jim finds Jules and Catherine sleeping in separate rooms. Catherine has been cheating on Jules constantly and is about to leave him. | |
