Springtime with Jacques – The Young Girls of Rochefort [In-Person Only]
Following the massive success of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), Demy stayed on theme with another musical about love, loss, and pastels. Though unlike Umbrellas, The Young Girls of Rochefort is more bright and bubbly, with fantastic dance numbers, a score by frequent collaborator Michel Legrand, and a very memorable surprise appearance by Gene Kelly.
Following the titular twins Delphine and Solange (played by Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), Young Girls tells the story of their yearning for big-city life, and their moment in the spotlight. When their usually quiet town is visited by a fair, escaping their monotonous small town life feels like it could be right within their grasp.
Everything in the film comes together in a burst of upbeat energy, combining the scale and feeling of a Hollywood production with the flair and attitude that only Demy could bring to the table.
