Jules and Jim - Special Edition
2 Disc Set
A love triangle and a story of friendship, Jules and Jim stars
Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, and Henri Serre. Set in Paris and Germany,
the film covers the years between 1900 when the two men, (Jules and
Jim) meet and fall in love with the same woman (Catherine), to the years
after WWI, when they meet again, and discover that Catherine has changed
her feelings about which of the two friends she now loves.
"Jules and Jim is one of those rare films that knows how
fast audiences can think, and how emotions contain their own explanations.
It's about three people who could not concede that their moment of perfect
happiness was over, and pursued it into dark and sad places." -
Roger Ebert
