Philosophical Screens: Jules et Jim

François Truffaut’s lyrical and melancholic journey through the lives of the participants in a love triangle makes for one of his most adored films; Jules et Jim offers a profound and complicated portrait of love. In this session of Philosophical Screens our regular panellists Lucy Bolton and Catherine Wheatley are joined by Professor Fiona Handyside (University of Exeter) to discuss the many facets of love in Truffaut’s film – jealousy and possession, eros and platonic love – as well as contemplating the fleeting nature of happiness, the elusiveness of memories, and the enduring appeal of the feminine enigma.

Free to ticket-holders of Jules et Jim on 10 February 18:10 NFT3, otherwise £6.50 (must be booked in advance due to capacity).
