Movie Haiku:Jules, an Austrian, & Jim, a Frenchman, begin a lifelong friendship in Paris in 1912. The apex of their triangle is the mercurial Catherine, who exhilarates & torments them both in equal measure. Francois Truffaut’s lyric drama remains a high point of the French “New Wave” of the ‘60’s.
