The Young Girls of Rochefort

1967, Movie, 2h 6min

Jacques Demy followed up THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG with another musical about missed connections and second chances, this one a more effervescent confection. Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), long for big-city life; when a fair comes through their quiet port town, so does the possibility of escape. With its jazzy Michel Legrand score, pastel paradise of costumes, and divine supporting cast (George Chakiris, Grover Dale, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, and Gene Kelly), THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.

An intriguing mix of French New Wave and Hollywood Musical, this still succeeds in sweeping you off your feet.

There's something irresistibly swinging, even promiscuous, about the whole affair...

Smuk farverig fransk musical. Liiiidt lang med en længde over to timer, og ikke helt så god som Demy's mesterværk "Pigen med paraplyerne", men god alligevel.
