Sunday Night Cinema Puts Art into Heart on Feb. 14

Date: Sunday evening, February 14, 2010

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, 32 Commercial Street, Honesdale

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Wayne County Arts Alliance kicks off its winter film series with a romantic drama by the great French director Francois Truffaut, a leading light of the “New Wave” that in the last 1950s and early 1960s rocked and transformed European film-making. Shocking and innovative when it first came out in 1962, the film chronicles a tragic love affair between Catherine (played by the legendary actress Jeanne Moreau in one of her more memorable roles) and the two friends who have fallen under her spell. “Jules and Jim” is praised as one of Truffaut’s most successfully realized works. The film’s premise is “passionate triangle in which three people are trapped, all in love with all, all reluctant to hurt the others.”

All that makes “Jules and Jim “ an essential entry in the Wayne County Arts Alliance’s winter film festival, which features classic movies by top directors from all over the world. The program, shown by arrangement with the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation, will be presented at 7:00 p.m. at the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, 32 Commercial Street, in Honesdale. A donation of $5.00 per person is suggested, to help support the activities of the Arts Alliance. The film will be preceded with a short introduction and followed by a discussion. For more information, contact the Arts Alliance at (570) 253-6850 or visit http://www.waynecountyartsalliance.org ,
