The Young Girls of Rochefort (Les Demoiselles de Rochefort)
Directed by Jacques Demy
With Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac, Michel Piccoli, Grover Dale, Gene Kelly
1967, 2h06, France
Starring real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac (with cameo appearances by Gene Kelly and Georges Chakiris) and featuring an incredible jazzy score by master composer Michel Legrand, this timeless French musical is a carefree tribute to classic Hollywood musicals.
In the picturesque port town of Rochefort, the spirited Garnier twins, Delphine and Solange, share a strong bond and similar aspirations, despite their contrasting looks. Delphine, the celestial blonde, is a ballet teacher and dancer, while Solange, the fiery redhead, is a singer and composer. Together, they light up the town, imparting music and dance lessons with dreams of finding true love and pursuing their passions in the magical city of Paris.
Film in French with English subtitles.
