Jules et Jim

★★★★★ ‘A near-perfect film…that marks the line between old and new cinema’ – The Times

One of the most beloved films of the French New Wave, Francois Truffaut’s seminal adaptation of Henri-Pierre Roche’s autobiographical novel sees two bohemian best friends fall in love with the same woman in the years around World War One. Featuring Jeanne Moreau’s iconic performance, sublime photography by Raoul Coutard and staggeringly inventive filmmaking, it’s never a bad time to go and see this perennial classic and we’re delighted to have playwright Samuel Adamson to introduce this film and discuss how it’s influenced The Ballad of Hattie and James.
