Nottingham Contemporary
The Screen at Contemporary returns with Jules et Jim: (1962) Cert 12A.
Set in the years before and after the First World War we follow best friends Jules and Jim. They meet, and subsequently fall in love with the free-spirited Catherine, creating the ultimate cinematic ménage à trois.
At the time this was radical in both form and content. The film explores love, desire, and loyalty with all of its complicated and ridiculous beauty.
