Jules and Jim in 35mm
One of the guiding lights of the French New Wave, François Truffaut directed over two dozen films. This May, the Roxy is proud to present six of his greatest works, four of them in stunning 35mm. Truffaut said, "I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself." The unforgettable films in this series reflect life in all of its messy, moving, and beautiful complexity.
Hailed as one of the finest films ever made, Jules and Jim charts, over twenty-five years, the relationship between two friends and the object of their mutual obsession. The legendary François Truffaut directs, and Jeanne Moreau stars as the alluring and willful Catherine, whose enigmatic smile and passionate nature lure Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) into one of cinema’s most captivating romantic triangles. An exuberant and poignant meditation on freedom, loyalty, and the fortitude of love, Jules and Jim was a worldwide smash in 1962 and remains every bit as audacious and entrancing today.
Presented in 35mm!
