chani | Le tourbillon de la vie

I rewatched Jules et Jim that was shown on ARTE tonight. I hadn't seen in ages and it's funny but I had forgotten about the first half of the film, before the actual ménage-à-trois happens, and yet it's easily the best half.

Watching it tonight, I had several thoughts.

- the film aged well because it was so unrealistic and because it was in white & black which always makes stunning visuals.
- the voice-over narration was sometimes a bit too much but it fits in the literary side of the whole thing. It was a book before being a movie after all.
- if Jules et Jim were released nowadays, everybody would be talking about the slash!
