The BFI's re-release of François Truffaut's much loved masterpiece celebrates the 80th birthday of its star, the riveting and risk-taking Jeanne Moreau. A remarkably frank exploration of the nature of love and friendship, Jules et Jim features one of the most famous love triangles in the history of cinema. Adapted from a novel by Henri-Pierre Roché, Jules et Jim tells the story of two aspiring writers who form a close friendship set in the bohemian Paris of 1912. Jules (Oskar Werner) is a shy, philosophical Austrian, while Jim (Henri Serre) is a debonair Frenchman, confident and successful with women. Both fall for the beautiful, capricious Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). In the words of the director himself Jules et Jim is 'a film which provokes the simple desire to talk about life'.
