Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Jules and Jim (1962)

Jules et Jim
France
directed by: François Truffaut
written by: François Truffaut, Jean Gruault + Henri-Pierre Roché (book)
starring: Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner, Henri Serre
seen on 3rd April, 2021

-"Keep in mind that words can't have the same meaning across languages, because they're not of the same gender. Unlike in French, "war", "death" and "moon" are masculine in German, while "sun" and "love" are feminine. "Life" is neuter."

I'd like to think I'm playful, but this film would make me judge and reject everything playful altogether. Too much of a male optics for me to navigate through.
