Item Description
The wonderfully vivid movie poster for the French new wave film Jules and Jim, starring Jeanne Moreau, showing the two main characters frolicking on a bed and surviving from 1962 and presented in a contemporary glazed frame.
The poster is in good condition overall and has been displayed in a quality glazed frame for many years now which would cost upwards of £300. It has never been folded. There is a small area to the upper flank that has some faint crinkling.
Jules and Jim was the biggest box-office success the French New Wave ever enjoyed. When it opened in Paris in January 1962, it played for nearly three months and it found the same crowds all over the world. In the carefree days before World War I, introverted Austrian author Jules (Oskar Werner) strikes up a friendship with the exuberant Frenchman Jim (Henri Serre). Both men fall for the impulsive and beautiful Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), but it's Jules who wins her hand. After the war, Jim visits Jules, Catherine and their daughter in their Austrian home and discovers not only that his feelings for Catherine are unchanged, but also that they're reciprocated.
This is a dramatic and bold piece of vintage artwork for a bittersweet ode to romantic idealism.
