FRENCH NEW WAVE ESSENTIALS

 

AT THE MUSEUM OF ARTS AND DESIGN

 

JULES AND JIM
Directed by François Truffaut
August 1 & 2, 4 PM
1962, 105 mins.

With Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, Henri Serre. At once exuberant and poignant, Jules and Jim is the quintessential love triangle movie. Set in Paris, from the end of the Belle Epoque through the start of World War II, it follows the adventures of two Bohemian friends who each fall in love with the capricious and modern Catherine. The film is filled with invention, insight, and emotional depth, with Truffaut’s direction enhanced by Georges Delerue’s hauntingly evocative score and kinetic photography by Raoul Coutard.

This series marks the first collaboration between the Museum of Arts and Design and Museum of the Moving Image. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the French New Wave, this series will showcase some of the most influential films of this period, many being presented with recently restored 35mm prints. Films will be presented in MAD's 145-seat theater (first built in 1964 and restored and reopened last September). Organized by David Schwartz, chief curator of Museum of the Moving Image.

Museum of Arts and Design is located at 2 Columbus Circle at 59th Street. Tickets are $11 per film/$7 for members of Museum of the Moving Image or MAD. No reservations, seating is first come, first served.
