Zu and Zhan

Jim's words touched Catherine's pain. He knew that Catherine's efforts were futile, and that her self-indulgent temptations would only lead to pain, not pure love.

In addition, I like the narrative perspective of the whole film. The narration runs through the whole film. Several abstract close-ups (such as a sculpture's smile), moving shots (running), and freeze-frame pictures (Catherine's expression show) clearly distinguish the film from reality. , the author does not want the audience to be "deceived" by the image, but uses the film to let everyone see the dilemma that also exists in himself. This is the attitude of the French New Wave directors to the film. The film should reflect reality and express emotions, not against Reproduction of a certain model. In addition, the soundtrack of the film is very poetic, with a mix of banter and sadness. C'est la vie!

    6.5/10 The narration is very annoying, and the heroine is annoying, as if reading the novel out, the screen is only an aid. Using Zu and Zhan to set off this woman, it seems that only a handful of epidermis remained, and the two of Zu and Zhan became irrelevant. The masterpiece of the New Wave, the race on the famous romantic bridge, the so-called most beautiful threesome in film history, is really boring, it is simply suffering.

Jules and Jim quotes

  • Jules: Catherines maxim is: At least one party in a relationship must be faithful. The other party.

  • Jim: I agree with you that in love a couple is not ideal. You only have to look around. You wanted to invent something better by rejecting hypocrisy and resignation. You wanted to invent love. But pioneers must be humble and unselfish. We must face the truth. We failed. We made a mess of everything. You tried to change me to suit you. I tried to spread joy, but I've created only pain.
