JULES AND JIM is Francois Truffaut's intense, beautiful, enigmatic film about the lifelong friendship between two writers--French novelist Jim (Henri Serre) and Austrian children's author Jules (Oskar Werner)--and their mutual love for the eccentric Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). With artful black-and-white imagery, the story begins in 1920s Paris when Jules and Jim first meet and become friends. As young single men, they gallavant about Paris, chasing women or studying ancient art, always animated, curious, and charming. When they meet the equally energetic Catherine, whose impulses range from dressing up as a man to taking midnight plunges into the Seine, their circle is complete. But when World War II erupts, with Jules and Jim fighting on opposite sides, everything changes. Jules marries Catherine before going off to battle. After the war, they settle into a quiet existence in the French countryside. But Catherine is restless and unfaithful. Jim reunites with his oldest and closest friends, and Catherine makes room for him in their house, asking him to move in and become her lover. Jim complies, as he wants nothing more than to please his friend Jules, who agrees to the plan. From there, the film's sweeping photography and wonderfully philosophical scripting tightens as the tale becomes even more complicated. Even its darkest moments, JULES AND JIM is movingly alluring as the friendship between the two men paints a meaningful portrait of human understanding and compassion. Like the similarly themed TWO ENGLISH GIRLS, Truffaut's film is based on a novel by Henri-Pierre Roche.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseInteractive MenusProduction CreditsFilmographies& AwardsScene AccessVintage Truffaut Trailer CollectionTribute to Jeanne MoreauRunning Audio Commentary by Glenn Kenny

1970s comedy duo Nino (Santiago Segura) and Bruno (El Gran Wyoming) rose to fame after a chance meeting and a first gig that should have been considered a disaster. With Bruno as the straight man and Nino as the dumb half of the team, their act was based on humiliation, which eventually lead to destructive offscreen resentment. Now, years later, they are on the way to their reunion show--with the wedge between them as wide as ever. On the eve of this history making broadcast, their manager recounts the few ups and the copious down of this painfully mismatched--yet still beloved--comic duo. This unique black comedy was co-written and directed by acclaimed Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia (DAY OF THE BEAST).DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers Featurette - 1.
