Reviews:

A breathless film about time.
Time and revisionist critics have tried to tarnish the gleam of Truffaut’s final masterpiece – citing its apparent misogyny and apoliticism; but for some of us, ‘Jules et Jim’ is the unforgettable film that opened the gates to both European film, and the great masters of American cinema like Hitchcock, Hawks and Ray.

‘Jules et Jim’ is, along with ‘Citizen Kane’, THE vindication of the pleasures of cinematic form: the first half especially, in its rush of narrative registers and technical exuberance, is unparalleled in modern film. This isn’t mere trickery – the use of paintings, books, plays, dreams, conversations, documentary footage, etc., as well as the different ways of telling a story through film, all point to the movie’s theme – how do you represent people and the world in art without destroying them? Or is art the only to save people and life from extinction?

The foregrounding of theatricality, acting, disguises, pseudonyms, games, works-within-the-work, all point to the high modernism in which the film is set, when the old certainties about identity and place were being destroyed by the Great War. In fact the film could be considered Cubist in the way it uses film form to splice up and rearrange images, space, characters, viewpoints.

Truffaut’s film is a beautiful elegy about time: the historical time heading towards destruction in the shape of the Nazis, and the circular time of love, obsession and art. These times struggle in the film’s structure, history zipping past years in the framing, Parisian sections, and days stretching out interminably in the central rural rondelay.

Far from being misogynistic, the film places Catherine’s speech about ‘grains of sand’ at its philosophical heart. AND she’s played by Jeanne Moreau, the most honest and human of all great actresses.

Tedious movie about unlikable people
I had never intended to watch this movie, having found Truffaut at best okay and at worst, as in Shoot the Piano Player, everything I hate about French cinema. But after my girlfriend said she had really liked this movie years ago I decided to take a look.

First off, I don’t like Jules and Jim. They are too utterly passionless guys who intellectualize and prattle on. I don’t care about their lives.

As for Catherine, she’s not so much a person as a collection of enigmas strung loosely together. The goal seemed to be to portray the WOMAN AS MYSTERY, but doing a bunch of random, weird things is more likely a sign of mental illness, and Catherine is never made real enough to seem mad or sane. She’s just MYSTERIOUS.

After a half hour I was wondering why this movie was such a big deal, so I took a break to read some articles on it. Apparently, the way it was filmed was fairly original, with freeze frames and hand-held cameras and newsreel footage. The best moments are weird jumpy moments set during the film’s unnecessary voiceovers, which unfortunately I couldn’t completely enjoy because I had to read the subtitles.

Which is fine, but I never felt the purpose behind it. Films like Hiroshima Mon Amour and Citizen Kane did unusual, original things, but they did them for specific purposes that propelled the story and informed the feel. Sometimes Jules et Jim uses its gimmicks to good effect, as in the race across the bridge, but often it just feels like it’s just tossing in stuff with no real purpose.

I started watching again, but the insufferable characters kept being insufferable and the story kept being nonexistent. Then I read a plot summary which made me decide to fast forward to the only part of the movie when anything happens. It seemed dumb, but I admit that since I skipped forward its possible I missed context.

This is a very French movie, by which I mean it’s incredibly talky and no one says anything interesting.
