Why this pick

The Lovers
Why this pick
Its intimate, liberated attention to desire and dissatisfaction anticipates the emotional volatility beneath Jules and Jim’s breezy surface, with a similarly elegant, modern French sensibility.
03
The Mother and the Whore
Why this pick
For the shifting triangle and bohemian Parisian milieu, this is a more bruising, talk-driven exploration of freedom, jealousy, and the uneasy limits of romantic idealism.
04
La Collectionneuse
Why this pick
Its sunlit, deceptively casual study of attraction among friends shares Truffaut’s light touch, moral ambiguity, and fascination with people who cannot quite live up to their romantic theories.
05
The Fire Within
Why this pick
A wistful, exquisitely observed portrait of friendship and restless postwar bohemia; it trades Jules and Jim’s exuberance for a deeper ache without losing its period texture.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film is set before, during, and after the World War I in several different parts of France, Austria, and Germany. Jules (Oskar Werner) is a shy writer from Austria who forges a friendship with the more extroverted Frenchman, Jim (Henri Serre). They share an interest in the world of the arts and the Bohemianism lifestyle. At a slide show, they become entranced with a bust of a goddess and her serene smile and travel to see the ancient statue on an island in the Adriatic Sea.
