《祖与占》 / Jules and Jim

《祖与占》 / Jules and Jim is the central film and source novel discussed in 108.祖与占：爱与不爱，巴黎就在那里（耸肩）. The episode introduces it through its later cultural influence and through the Paris bridge-running image, then follows the story from the pre-World War I friendship of [[JulesJulesAndJim|Jules]] and [[JimJulesAndJim|Jim]] to their shared fixation on [[CatherineJulesAndJim|Catherine]], wartime separation, a brief postwar household, jealousy, attempted murder, and the final car crash from the broken bridge.

The work is treated as a hard case for Moral Suspension In Art Reading. The episode does not ask the viewer to approve of the characters’ choices; it asks the viewer to see how [[FrenchNewWave|French New Wave]] movement, Roche’s compressed prose, Truffaut’s cinematic style, war, gender order, and impossible freedom create a feeling that quick moral labels cannot hold.
