‘Jules and Jim’
16.10, TCM
Jules and Jim. France, 1961 (105 minutes). Director: François Truffaut. Cast: Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, Henri Serrer.
Movies like The 400 Blows, American Night either Tough skin demonstrate that François Truffaut was a filmmaker who always loved the characters he drew on screen. A love that breaks out in Jules and Jim, Two young bohemians who, in Montparnasse in 1907, share the love of Catherine, the third vertex of a triangle that will prove fragile. Jules and Jim will separate during the First World War, but will unite them by the bond that the young woman represents. Their subsequent reunion, already wounded and hurt, will show that nothing will be as in the old days of Paris. Truffaut achieves with Jules and Jim One of his most heartfelt and transparent films, in which he majestically combines the dreams of life and the dreams of cinema.
‘The name of the rose’
17.00, Movistar Classics
The name of the rose. France-Italy-Germany, 1986 (123 minutes). Director: Jean Jacques Annaud. Cast: Sean Connery, Christian Slater.
Jean-Jacques Annaud showed a boldness in adapting Umberto Eco’s novel. The film is forced to leave aside the overwhelming literary density of the original and its outcome is subordinated to the demands of a blockbuster, but Annaud creates images of unusual power and skillfully combines detective investigation with some of the codes of horror cinema. And there can be no better William of Baskerville than the one played by Sean Connery.
