Jules et Jim

Jules et Jim (1962), Francois Trauffaut:
Still doing my French New Wave education, and I still just can't get into Trauffaut. There's something so deeply despairing in this and The 400 Blows that's presented so earnestly that it's disarming. It seems participatory, though, so if you don't get it, Trauffaut doesn't really invite you in; it's not really designed for the spectator. It was really well done though.
10/15

Did you see this was on Premiere Magazine's list of 20 most overrated movies of all time? It was a pretty good list overall, Gone With The Wind and Field of Dreams notwithstanding.
