«Jim: We played with life and lost», «Jules et Jim» by François Truffaut

When I saw this daily life scene, and I catch my camera to make the photo I present you today, the immediate image in my head was from «Jules et Jim», a 1962 film directed by François Truffaut, with Jeanne Moraux.
This is a wonderful movie, a classic of the French «nouvelle vague», classified by his director has «a perfect hymn to love and perhaps to life», a sentence that I subscribe completely.
With this photo I make my homage to the great European cinema school of the 50’s and 60’s, and specially to Truffaut, Antoniani, Fellini, Von Sternberg, Oliveira, De Sica, Bertollucci, and so many others.

In this week end that Lisbon is «always in party» (the 13th July is the city day, and the 10th, the national day), I leave you my TL friends with a suggestion: rent in the video clube «Jules et Jim» or another classic from the 50’s or 60’s, and enjoy it.

Have a great we, mb.

Hi Jose.Beautiful and romantic B&W picture.
Best regards, Bosko.

Very pleasing composition - good diagnols, nice lines and a strong subject we can all try to relate to emotionally as we please. A bit hot in places, but you took the opportunity and came away with a good one. Regards, TW

Such a great classic noir quality to this shot Jose!
An amazing set of shadows being cast as they walk.
Perfect exposure timing.
This is masterful work.

Olá José,
Este foto é simplesmente magnifica e vem nos primeiros lugares das minhas favoritas não só pela sua beleza estética como tb pelas boas recordações que me traz. Confesso que era capaz de passar horas a olhar para ela, aliás já aqui estou à bastante tempo a admirá-la.
Mais um filme que não vi... mas quando for à Fnac vou ver se não me esqueço de o procurar :)
Boas Festas Lisboetas e que a nossa selecção ganhe amanhã,

Hi Jose, I do not remember this film, althougt I went quite often to the cinema in the 60's. I liked most Antonioni and Monica Vitti. Those were the days.. And now, are there any good Italian films? The same is with the songs. I loved Aznavour, Brassens,...
Splendid photo and the memories it ewokes. Thank for sharing

Hello Jose,
Superb graphism! The bridge, the railing, and the people walking are the elements which make this image compelling. Bravo! Danilo

Hi Jose,
Long shadows and lead-in lines from the walkway and rails are just fantastic elements of this well captured and composed photo. The walking couple is a superb element to create grea dynamics to the whole composition. Excellent work! tfs

Jose after wandering in your gallery I notice that the key note to your images is the mood you establish with your colors and the way you handle the lighting. This on is a good example even in B & W and the use of harsh front lighting. Bravo

Hello Jose
This does take us back in time when things were so much more secure, and people had values.Those were the good times.
It looks like its right out of a film noir which to this day remain my favorites probably because it was my era.
You got a real great capture with good sharpness.

Good vision ...

Great composition with the diagonal lines and the different textures of the railings.
Works very well in b&w,I don't think it would be quite as effective in colour.
