The Young Girls of Rochefort stars Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac (Deneuve’s real-life sister, who died in a car accident shortly after the completion of shooting) as musically inclined twin sisters Delphine and Solange, whose mother Yvonne (Danielle Darrieux) pines for the memory of her former fiancé (Michel Piccoli). The three women, and the men who desire them, cross paths, fail to connect, misunderstand and misconstrue each other, but in the triumphant finale, discover that love is indeed attainable. Demy’s exuberant tribute to Hollywood musicals is lush, lovely, light-hearted and features an extraordinary color palette. Gene Kelly, who provided his own choreography, is also featured. In French with English subtitles.
