Directed by Francois Truffaut in 1962, this film explores the relationship between two best friends Jules and Jim, and their love and obsession with the leading woman Catherine. With this black and white film set in Paris, there is a very avant garde tone to it. This, was about the only aspect I enjoyed about the film. The fact that it was very well shot gave the film some credit and distracted from the poor storyline, as I found this to be a bit too unrealistic and in some way made it quite laughable. The main character, Catherine, is again too unrealistic. She is unpredictable, attention-seeking and could be seen as a little childish when she switches between who out of the two best friends she wants to be with numerous times.
This film, however, was very useful in terms of costume and scenery.
