Jules and Jim

A 1999 Japanese B5 movie flyer for the revival screening of François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim (1962), known in Japan as 突然炎のごとく. This double-sided sheet combines bold yellow typography with black-and-white film photography and Japanese screening information.

The front places Jeanne Moreau in a striped top beneath oversized yellow JULES et JIM lettering, with the italic et breaking up the composition. A small circular film still appears near the bottom, while the inscription “Nouvelle Vague 40e anniversaire” establishes the anniversary context.

The reverse shifts to a more documentary layout: a wide black-and-white photograph of the three central characters, a smaller image of Moreau, and extensive Japanese commentary. The text explicitly references 1999 and the French New Wave’s 40th anniversary. At the bottom, screening information announces a mid-May late-night engagement at Ciné Amuse East & West.

These details identify the sheet as a 1999 Japanese revival flyer for Truffaut’s 1962 film, rather than an artifact from its original release.
