The Young Girls of Rochefort (Les Demoiselles de Rochefort)

Описание:

The French director Jacques Demy scored a worldwide hit in 1964 with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Equally enchanting is the musical that reunited Demy with the star and composer of Umbrellas, Catherine Deneuve and Michel Legrand. Deneuve and her real-life sister, Francoise Dorleac (who died at 25 in a car accident, 3 months after the release of the film), play twins, who fantasize about life in Paris. But before they leave the town, they are distracted by the weekend fair and its colorful singers and dancers. They`re also destined to meet an American composer – gloriously, it`s Gene Kelly, carrying the aura of classic MGM musicals. George Chakiris, the star from the West Side Story, also dances his way through the film. The crazy hairstyles and vinyl boots fit right into the film’s sense of gleeful fun.
