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.
This special collaboration between Montclair Film and La Cinémathèque celebrates The French New Wave, one of the most important movements of 1960s European cinema. Its visionary directors reimagined film in a more real and intellectual way. Watch the films and then discuss the nuances of how these films represent the movement with a Q&A following the film.
