One of François Truffaut’s most celebrated films, his third feature Jules et Jim would set the tone for a diverse body of work, following on from The 400 Blows and Shoot the Pianist. The film draws together recurrent themes for Truffaut: strong women, impossible love and an ongoing discourse on a crisis in masculinity. This talk will explore these themes and their representations in Jules et Jim, Truffaut’s work more broadly and the film’s legacy on film history.
