The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)
The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)
Overview
Jacques Demy's 1967 French musical follows twin sisters in the seaside town of Rochefort who dream of love and artistic careers beyond their quiet provincial lives. A weekend fair brings sailors, musicians, and wandering romantics into orbit, and the film spends most of its running time arranging near-misses between people who are clearly meant for each other. The Leans Traditional label fits naturally. The story presents heterosexual romantic partnership as the obvious destination for a fulfilled life, wraps it in cheerful innocence, and asks no awkward questions about that premise. Women are independent and professionally ambitious, which softens the rating slightly, but the whole film is essentially a G-rated argument that love, marriage, and fate belong together.
