Tuesday Happenings

Still from Jules and Jim courtesy Brattle Theatre.

The Brattle's Truffaut retrospective gets all pervy with two features devoted to relationships and infidelity. Jules and Jim (1962), is a matter-of-fact account of a ménage à trois. Take it from us: If you are ever dating a person who claims Jules and Jim as a favorite film, bail immediately. The Soft Skin (1964) is a matter-of-fact account of a ménage à deux that disintegrates from lies and infidelity. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and showtimes.

Geezers

This Bostonist never really got into X, the L.A. punk band, but we know plenty of people who swear by its twangy take on the genre. Whether or not those people would like to see the band perform in its current advanced age is another matter entirely. Let your aesthetic conscience by your guide. Paradise Rock Club, 967 Comm. Ave., 8 p.m. $30.
