ON Monday November 9 at the Playhouse Cinema, Louth Film Club will be screening a new print of Jules Et Jim, Francois Truffaut's masterpiece of the early 1960s French New Wave.
Screen legend Jeanne Moreau plays Catherine, and Oskar Werner and Henri Serre are Jules and Jim, whose lifelong friendship is severely tested by the First World War, in which they fight on opposite sides, and by finding they are both in love with Catherine.
Beautifully filmed, in wide-screen black and white, and groundbreaking in its direction and editing, Jules Et Jim is also a superb piece of story telling.
"Few films capture life's bittersweet rush and tumble so completely, so profoundly," wrote Xan Brooks in the Guardian on its re-release in 2008.
Jules Et Jim is Certificate PG. The film starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £3 for members and standard cinema prices (£5 or £4 concessions) for non-members.
Club programmes are available, free, from Off The Beaten Tracks record shop at 36 Aswell Street, Louth (closed on Thursdays) or the Playhouse Cinema.
The club's award-winning website (www.louthfilmclub.co.uk) also has information, with links to trailers, for its forthcoming films.
