Film Screening "The Young Girls of Rochefort"

The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)

By Jacques Demy / 126'/ French

Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher, 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, The Young Girls of Rochefort is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.

Jacques Demy followed up The Umbrellas of Cherbourg with another musical about missed connections and second chances, this one a more effervescent confection.

This screening is in collaboration with Alliance française de Bangalore
