"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live."- Joan Borysenko

Another Francois Truffaut French New Wave classic Jules and Jim (1962) tells a strong story about life, love war, loss, regret and frustration. Once again the first priority of the film is to be visually artistic breaking the tradition of ordinary cinema. The editing techniques are interesting. In the New Wave style using freeze-frames, hand held shots, dissolves and fast pans. The powerful emotive themes expressed in Jules and Jim through different artistic forms make the film interesting to watch. Another good film of Truffaut and the French New Wave.
