MCT:August 12, 2008A very disappointing musical from Jacques Demy - terrible story and boring songs. The costumes are farcical: trousers tucked into white boots? You can see the terrible glint of Xanadu in Gene Kelly's droopy eyes. Much better to watch Umbrellas of Cherbourg again.

"the young girls of rochefort" is the dynamic french musical classic with a fairly young angelic catherine deneuve. and it is restricted to people who have an acceptance to the cliched parisian naivete of french romanticism. the storyline is delineated with an innocent stroke of ever after fairy tale which could be mindless but exquisitedly cherographed and the music is brighteningly melodic.
how about the story? absolutely corny and it's about "love"(amour) again. it's about two female ingenunes who seek for the ideal dream lovers. it shows its fatalistic belief in love and bond arranged in the heaven that is not a topic suited for cynist. but it's so contrived to the histrionic pretense that is meant not to be taken seriously for relaxation. but the stage effects of backset, constumes and techicolor tones are well-adjusted and that makes it highly watchable and warmingly cute if you disregard their smug poise to sing and dance on the streets and exclaims "i'm in love!" and this silliness requires the leads who are charismatic enough to sell it, catherine deneuve and francoise dorleac would be in this niche with their looks and light-weighted voice.
it is amazing to see deneuve kicking her leg, holding her girlish hat in musical then stripped off naked as the masochist in "belle de jour" which is also released in 1968. "the young girls of rochefort" proves the diverse caliber of catherine deneuve. -
MCT:May 28, 2008Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (Francia, 1967), es un viaje más al colorido y musical mundo de Jacques Demy, luego de su éxito con Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (1964). Demy trajo de regreso a su protagonista, la bella Catherine Deneuve, quien conservaba su aire inocente, triste y vulnerable, al interpretar a una maestra de música y baile.
La acción del filme tiene lugar en otra pequeña población de Francia, la ciudad portuaria de Rochefort, en una enorme plaza donde se ubica una cafetería. En la película, Rochefort es una explosión de color, y la inspiración de los musicales de Hollywood era clara. Participaban (doblados al francés) George Chakiris (protagonista unos años antes del emblemático musical West Side Story/1961) y, por si fuera poco, Gene Kelly, ya con un rostro que evidenciaba madurez, pero ejecutando impresionantes pasos de baile. El realizador muestra un gusto por los estilizados y majestuosos números musicales estilo Hollywood: espacios llenos de bailarines y extras, ambientados en estrechas calles o en espaciosas plazas. Sin embargo, ni Chakiris ni Kelly tenían un protagonismo de peso en la historia.
El personaje de Catherine Deneuve, Delphine, está en búsqueda del pintor que realizó su retrato de memoria, y que se encuentra colgado en la galería de su insufrible novio, el cual está decidida a dejar. A su alrededor, un conjunto de historias se iban desarrollando, dando forma a un grupo de personajes tocados por la música, la nostalgia de amores pasados y por una tristeza que no iba del todo acorde al espíritu festivo que se respira en cada espacio.

Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac are perfect together in this film! Great costumes, music, and scenery. Definitely a must-see for fans of French cinema!
