French Film Festival: 'Jules and Jim'

The Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures, the OSL, SLP & MPB will be showing  "Jules and Jim / Jules et Jim" by Francois Truffaut as part of the 2016 French Film Festival. 

In the carefree days before World War I, introverted Austrian author Jules (Oskar Werner) strikes up a friendship with the exuberant Frenchman Jim (Henri Serre). Both men fall for the impulsive and beautiful Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), but it's Jules who wins her hand. After the war, Jim visits Jules, Catherine and their daughter in their Austrian home and discovers not only that his feelings for Catherine are unchanged, but also that they're reciprocated.
