Jules & Jim


Did anyone else feel like the casting of Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel was deliberate to emulate the leading males in Jules & Jim by Francois Truffaut? One is blond and shorter, the other is tall with dark hair. One is more innocent while the other a little more adventurous. And also note that like the female lead in Jules & Jim, Eva Green's character cares for both Matthew and Theo and seems torn between them.

Great observation! There are definitely similarities. Also fits well with all the other movie references, including a lot of french new wave films of course.
Great movie!
