About the Movie "Jules and Jim" on DVD, Including DVD Release Date
"Jules and Jim"
aka "Jules et Jim"



Movie Summary:
A lively exploration of romantic love and friendship, François Truffaut's French-language "Jules and Jim" is one of my favorite films. The story chronicles the intertwined lives of three European intellectual bohemians from 1912 to 1933. I think Jeanne Moreau creates an unforgettable character in Catherine, the free-spirited woman loved by a pair of best friends, the two men for whom the film is named. She is a femme fatale who sets up a whirlpool around her that leads to tragedy.
