Triangle Trouble
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Most critics today consider Truffaut's Jules and Jim (1961) to be his masterpiece. Adapted from a novel by Henri-Pierre Roché, the film tells the story of two friends and their romantic entanglements with an independent-minded girl named Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), over a span of 30 years. It's a very good film, but we lose out on many potentially great, small moments and subtlety because of the film's grand, historical sweep. Truffaut adapted another Roché novel ten years later, as Two English Girls, with much the same results.
