In Reply to: Anyone wants to talk about "Jules et Jim"? posted by Victor Khomenko on March 10, 2005 at 18:47:44:
I disagree, Victor! While Truffaut was hit-or-miss after 1962, his first three films are amazing. In "Jules et Jim," Moreau's character Catherine is a woman who wants to set the rules and then change them as she goes along. How does she differ in that from any other woman (or for that matter, man)? You echo the U.S. Catholic Church's film office with your condemnation of how she uses and enjoys sex. But I have never heard of an "uncut" version of this film with pelvic motions. This is a film with nothing but emotions and feelings!Hasn't someone ever entered your life, turned it upside down, and then left you with just the dream (or the nightmare) of the possibility of catching that person? (You needn't answer this question...please allow me to be rhetorical here.)
Yes, these three and their friends can be eye-rollingly pretentious, but isn't that true of all young self-styled "bohemians"? Truffaut has made a wonderful film that really captures a group of people and the time they live in.
And Marie Dubois! As patrickU might say, "Hehe!"
Would that every film about people in "unconventional" living situations were as good as "Jules et Jim".
Take care and have fun, Victor!
