  • François Truffaut's Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-Viewed
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 29, núms. 1-2 (2019) · ISSN: 2014-668X François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract Truffaut’s early protagonists, like many of those produced by the New Wave, were rebels or misfits who felt stifled by conventional social definitions. His early cinematic style was as anxious to rip chords as his characters were. Unlike Godard, Truffaut went on in his career to commit himself, not to continued experiment in film form or radical critique of visual imagery, but to formal themes like art and life, film and fiction, and art and education. This article reconsiders a film that embodies such themes, in addition to featuring characters who feel stifled by conventional social definitions: Jules and Jim. Keywords: François Truffaut; French film; New Wave; Jules and Jim; Henri- Pierre Roché Resumen Los primeros protagonistas de Truffaut, como muchos de los producidos por la New Wave, eran rebeldes o inadaptados que se sentían agobiados por las convenciones sociales convencionales. Su estilo cinematográfico temprano estaba tan ansioso por romper moldes como sus personajes. A diferencia de Godard, Truffaut continuó en su carrera comprometiéndose, no a seguir experimentando en forma de película o crítica radical de las imágenes visuales, sino a temas formales como el arte y la vida, el cine y la ficción, y el arte y la educación. Este artículo reconsidera una película que encarna dichos temas, además de presentar personajes que se sienten ahogados: Jules y Jim. Palabras clave: François Truffaut, cine francés, New Wave; Jules and Jim, Henri-Pierre Roché.

  • From Honoré De Balzac to Franc¸Ois Truffaut1
    The European Legacy, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 173–193, 2004 The Human Comedy of Antoine Doinel: From Honore´deBalzac to Franc¸ois Truffaut1 ϳϳ ANER PREMINGER ϳϳ ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is the intertextual relationship between the work of Franc¸ois Truffaut and that of Honore´deBalzac. It explores Balzac’s influence on the shaping of Truffaut’s voice and argues that Balzac’s Human Comedy served Truffaut as a model for some of his cinematic innovations. This applies to Truffaut’s total oeuvre, but particularly to his series of autobiographical films, “The Adventures of Antoine Doinel”: The 400 Blows ( Les Quatre Cents Coups, 1959), Antoine and Colette, Love at Twenty (Antoine et Colette, L’Amour a` Vingt Ans, 1962), Stolen Kisses ( Baisers Vole´s, 1968), Bed and Board ( Domicile Conjugal, 1970), Love on the Run ( L’Amour en Fuite, 1979). In examining Truffaut’s “rewriting” of Balzac, I adopt—and adapt—the intertextual approach of Harold Bloom’s theory of the “anxiety of influence.” My paper applies Bloom’s concept of misreading to an examination of the relationship between Truffaut’s autobiographical films, and Balzac’s Human Comedy, both thematically and structurally. On 21 August 1850, the writer Victor Hugo read a eulogy over the grave of his colleague, the writer Honore´deBalzac. In this eulogy Hugo attempted to sum up Balzac’s contribution to literature in particular and to culture in general. Among other things, Hugo said the following: The name of Balzac will form part of the luminous mark that our period will leave upon the future.

One of the ways in which Baker creates this contrast is through the repetition of sounds from François Truffaut’s 1962 French film Jules and Jim in The Flick. This repetition causes us to ask ourselves as audience members – why is this particular movie referred to so many times over the course of the play? One clue to this can be found by examining the similarities and differences between the two works. Both stories depict characters searching for happiness. Both follow two men and a woman as their lives intertwine. Both depict versions of love and betrayal. Still, there are differences. Truffaut’s lead characters, all white, magically seem to have enough money to support their lives in country cabins and Parisian apartments as writers. They both have a passionate sexual relationship with the same woman, and both relationships fail spectacularly in different ways.

  • Two in the Wave
    PRESENTS TWO IN THE WAVE Produced & Directed by Emmanuel Laurent Written & Narrated by Antoine De Baecque Press Contact: Rodrigo Brandão (212) 629-6880 ext 12 / [email protected] A Lorber Films Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 WEST 39 STREET • SUITE 503 • NEW YORK, NY • 10018 SYNOPSIS The French New Wave crashed onto international shores when François Truffaut’s debut feature, The 400 Blows, premiered at Cannes in 1959, followed quickly by Jean-Luc Godard’s equally thrilling Breathless, based on a Truffaut story. The two filmmaking rebels, great friends and fellow graduates of the Cahiers du Cinema, for which both wrote extensively, hailed from different sides of the tracks: Truffaut, a poor reform school boy, and Godard, a Swiss haute- bourgeois. Both cast Jean-Pierre Léaud in many of their movies (for Truffaut, as his alter-ego, Antoine Doinel) and led the movement to save Henri Langlois’s job at the Cinemathèque Française in ’68. Two In The Wave poignantly melds revealing period footage of both men (and of Léaud, torn between father-figures) with scenes from some of their greatest films, as it moves inexorably toward their bitter falling-out.

  • François Truffaut: a Life in Films
    〈Book Review〉 François Truffaut: A Life in Films Romain Duchesnes The Films in My Life (Les Films de ma vie) holds a special place in the history of film criticism. Initially released in France in 1975, it draws from two decades of film criticism by director François Truffaut, the bulk of which dates back from the second half of the 1950’s—before the release in 1959 of his first film The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups), the work that essentially kickstarted the French New Wave, at least in terms of its critical and popular recognition. Essays written throughout the 1960’s and the first half of the 1970’s also testify of Truffaut’s willingness to communicate his ongoing cinephilia even as he had become one of Europa’s most widely known auteurs. Available in English translation since 1978, this seminal collection had until now never been translated into Japanese despite the constant interest, among academia as well as with the general public, for Truffaut’s work. The upcoming translation by Dr. Noriko Mizuta will therefore fill an important gap in the appreciation of Truffaut in Japan, both as a director and as a critic. Probably the most consistently popular of the original founders of the French New Wave, François Truffaut, like many of his European counterparts of the postwar era, came to filmmaking through criticism. Essentially self-taught (he left school at the age of fourteen), Truffaut soon came under the influence of film theoretician André Bazin, whose views on cinema informed Truffaut’s own auteurist theories.

  • Bamcinématek Presents the Vertigo Effect, a Series of 30 Films Influenced by Or Anticipating Alfred Hitchcock’S Towering Masterpiece, Apr 16—30
    BAMcinématek presents The Vertigo Effect, a series of 30 films influenced by or anticipating Alfred Hitchcock’s towering masterpiece, Apr 16—30 Opens with a screening of Vertigo in a rare IB Technicolor print and closes with a sneak preview of Christian Petzold’s Phoenix The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Mar 16, 2015—From Thursday, April 16 through Thursday, April 30, BAMcinématek presents The Vertigo Effect, an eclectic survey of films influenced by or anticipating Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958—Apr 16). One of cinema’s foundational texts, Vertigo begins as an intricate thriller and deepens into a mad, doomed romance between the private eye Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart) and a mysterious woman (Kim Novak). Initially released to mixed reviews and a lackluster box office, Vertigo unseated Citizen Kane as the greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound’s 2012 critics’ poll. Acclaimed director Christian Petzold’s remarkable new film, Phoenix (2014—Apr 30), set in Berlin’s post-Holocaust rubble, is the latest in a long line to pay homage to Hitchcock’s masterpiece, and will close the series in a sneak preview courtesy Sundance Selects. François Truffaut, one of the French New Wave filmmakers who were among Hitchcock’s earliest champions, fashions a familiar masochistic intrigue between Jean-Paul Belmondo and femme fatale Catherine Deneuve in the exotic Mississippi Mermaid (1969—Apr 18). Cine-essayist Chris Marker tours Vertigo’s locations in Sans Soleil (1983—Apr 26), but his earlier sci-fi short La Jetée (1962—Apr 22) also abounds with Vertigo references, starting with the unknown woman’s photo at the heart of its time-travel puzzle.
