PART I: French New Wave (1958-62) - Jules et Jim, 1962
Jules et Jim (Francois Truffaut, 1962) Set in the first half of the 20th century, Jules et Jim is about a two decade long triangular relationship between protagonists Jules (Oskar Werner), Jim (Henri Serre) and Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). As most love triangles in cinema history, their story will not have a happy resolution, either. Truffaut takes an archetypical cinematic plot and together with cinematographer Raoul Coutard transforms it into a well balanced film that infuses melodramatic scenes with a sense of irony and realism rarely found in other examples of the genre.-Heiko Stang
