Product Description

LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT
A film by Jacques Demy

Following on from the success of Les Parapluies de Cherbourg comes Les Demoiselles de Rochfort - Jacques Demy's large-scale tribute to the Hollywood musical featuring screen legend Gene Kelly. The story centres on twin sisters Delphine and Solange (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac) who, tired of their humdrum existence, dream of finding success and romance in Paris. The superb ensemble, also featuring Daniele Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, Jacques Perrin, George Chakiris and Grover Dale, weave and wander around the town, looking for and just missing the love of their lives.

With a plot of pure Shakespearean farce, witty dialogue and lyrics by Demy, and a magnificent jazz score by three-times Academy Award winner Michel Legrand, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort is an effervescent celebration of life that is sure to captivate and uplift

This movie has become one of my favorites, It's a sequel to American in Paris for the great dance numbers, especially Gene Kelly , older, but he still has it and can charm a young girl. The other sequel is The Umbrellas of Cherbourg -- same music style and Legrand score. Fun story and enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A visual treat - a celebration of music, dance and romance! (cynics beware)
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019

I've been looking for this restored, blu-ray version for years and was so glad that Criterion released it. As I write this, Agnès Varda, the great director and wife of Jacques Demy, has just passed away, and it was her production company that helped restore "The Young Girls of Rochefort" as well as "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg".

Filmed in a France of happier days that may never exist again, it is absolutely beautiful to look at - a spectacle of colorful sets and costumes, almost every song by the brilliant Michel Legrand is memorable, terrific choreography, and the wonderful cast speaks for itself. Marvelous to see Americans George Chakiris and the legendary Gene Kelly brought into this French universe, which brings something extra special and a bit Hollywood-esque to the flavor.

On the minus side, though I love director Jacques Demy, my wife and I were a bit perplexed by the sudden intrusion of an incidental, but very dark plot/character element into the fun, and we felt that one or two scenes dragged on and could have been cut in length. As far as the disc, it was fine, though there are only English subtitles and when you click them "ON", they are actually "OFF", so the light grey means they are 'on' and the bold means they are 'off' - a bit frustrating to figure out at first. The extras are great, but would have loved to have the English-language version of the film included too, if that isn't too greedy. (From a clip I found, it looks like they actually filmed each scene twice, in French and in English, then dubbed them accordingly.) But all in all, a must-have for lovers of musicals, classic movies and French culture.

4.0 out of 5 stars A silly, campy fun movie from which La La Land pretty much took all its cues.

If you're a Catherine Deneuve fan, this is one you should check out. Over the top, very 60s dance numbers from the first scene that will curiously remind you of La La Land. This film was definitely a huge influence on it. It's full of vibrant colors, lilty song, and and appearance by Gene Kelly.

5.0 out of 5 stars About Abstract Love and the Ideal Female
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
Of the 2 films with Catherine Deneuve by Jacques Demy, I prefer this one. Umbrellas is a fine sentimental film about young love and adolescent angst confronting the real world. But this one is more optimistic, more cheerful, and just as colorful as the first film. Most of the interactions occur through singing like in the first film, but there are moments of dialogue. The "two girls" are played by Deneuve and her real life sister, Francois Dorleac. In addition to this, Gene Kelly and George Chakiris have prominent roles in this film. What I found so satisfying about this film is the way in which each person's dreams or desires are fulfilled at the end of the film through coincidences and accidents. Love, in this film, is treated in an abstract manner. A young sailor and artist who seeks his feminine ideal, one of the "girls" (Dorleac) falls in love at first sight with an American musician (Gene Kelly), and two mature people who have loved each other for a long time reunite by accident. In each of these, the story abandons any realistic pretense of love and simply allows all its abstract and sentimental aspects to flourish through the desires of its characters for an ideal relationship. Demy's world seems infused with faith or belief in idealisms. His young characters express the idealistic in us and he allows it to flourish rather than putting "realistic" obstacles in the way. In the end, it doesn't matter what happens.

The quality of the picture is perfect although not a bluray. If you like musicals, you will enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FREED UNIT IN THE FRENCH STYLE
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017

This Criterion Blu-Ray is the best version ever of this 1967 French musical. It has been restored with the guidance of the director’s widow, Agnes Varda (herself an auteur). For years the film was only available as part of a Jacques Demy set (bigger price tag, plus you may not be interested in the other films offered), and also on various Import versions presented without the correct format.

The various plotlines involve several romantic encounters and near misses when a fair comes to a small French town. As usual, Criterion is generous with their Extras.

The image quality and the sound on this offering are better than I remembered from the original release (I was in College and I caught it at a very spartan “art house” movie theater in a low rent area in downtown. The screen was dim and on the yellow side and the mono sound was on the tinny side. So this Stereo disk was a treat.

Though not perfect, I like this Demy musical better than the more famous, but (to me) slow and tedious “Umbrellas.”

Delightful and Fun Movie !!!
Before Criterion released this edition for Region 1, I could only find import editions - Not having a region free player prevented viewing, except once on TCM.
Michel Legrand's score, although is not as familiar as his "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" score, is outstanding and Catherine Deneuve is as beautiful as ever.
George Chakiris, who six years earlier won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in "West Side Story", and Gene Kelly dance their way through Rochefort, France.
The Blu- Ray digital restoration provides nice saturated high definition colors.
Special Edition Interviews are historical and a joy to watch.
Before buying this Blu-Ray edition, I only had a vinyl copy of Michel Legrand's music to enjoy.
Buy IT while it is available !!!

C'est un film d'époque vraiment magnifique qui vaut la peine d'être revu périodiquement et qu'il faut se procurer, même s'il coûte très cher, d'autant plus qu'il est rare qu'on puisse trouver une copie qui peut être lue sur un lecteur DVD nord-américain.

I absolutely adore this French musical! The criterion upscaling is fantastic and the colours pop so well. I love the songs and the plot of this film so much. I highly recommend the blu ray and the film in general. Remember it’s region A, so make sure to get a region free player! Other than that? You should get it!
