This is the greatest film about life. Jeanne Moreau plays the role of a woman that wants to live but can't fit herself in this world, in the normal forms of relationships. Between Jules and Jim she founds something that calms her down a little. The masterpiece of Truffaut, Jules and Jim was made over the book from Henri-Pierre Roche, who also wrote "deux anglaises et le continent", the book that Truffaut also filmed later. The incredible capacity of Henri-Pierre Roche of talking about life in such a accessible way was perfectly recreated by Truffaut, who arrived to make even a greater thing then the writer. This is one of those movies to see over and over. Specially the great scene where Catherine sings Tourbillon de la vie, which fits perfectly. A film about meetings, losings, and finally about the difficulties of finding yourself. It's the most beautiful and simple way of describing le tourbillon de la vie.
