Les Demoiselles De Rochefort
A lively, romantic and colourful musical about twin sisters in Rochefort who long for big-city life. Full of nods to famous Hollywood musicals, yet unmistakably French.
Delphine and Solange dream of a life full of love, art and adventure beyond the quiet town of Rochefort. When a travelling funfair comes to town, their dreams suddenly seem within reach. Without realising it, they keep just missing their destined love, even though it is sometimes literally just round the corner.
Following the global success of Les Parapluies De Cherbourg, Jacques Demy created his most exuberant musical. Starring Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac, alongside Hollywood legend Gene Kelly, he pays a loving tribute to classic MGM musicals. Michel Legrand’s swinging music, the choreography and the playful interplay of chance make Les Demoiselles De Rochefort one of the most beloved film musicals of all time. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score.
