Reviews

The Dissolve -
François Truffaut’s Jules And Jim is many things, not least among them a modernist Pygmalion.

|
Chicago Reader -
With this 1961 film Truffaut comes closest to the spirit and sublimity of his mentor, Jean Renoir, and the result is a masterpiece of the New Wave.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Jules and Jim is one of those rare films that knows how fast audiences can think, and how emotions contain their own explanations
|
|
Time Out -
There is great sadness in ‘Jules et Jim’, what with the war, Catherine’s betrayals and the nebulous tragedy that is growing up, for those who can manage it but, after the whirlwind has departed, it’s the joy – the sense of plunging into life – that remains.

LarsenOnFilm -
Playfulness is the defining characteristic of Jules and Jim, even if what it largely entails is a tragic gender gap of fatal proportions.
