friend: how are y–
me: NOUS SOMMES DEUX SOEURS JUMELLES NÉES SOUS LE SIGNE DES GÉMEAUX

a random axe murderer sub-plot?? in (De)MY(‘s) delightfully color-coordinated rom-com musical??? it’s more likely than you think

I HATE YALL FOR NOT TELLING ME GENE KELLY IS IN THIS I HAD AN ANEURYSM WHEN HE SHOWED UP

ok I'll admit I may not have literally had an aneurysm but I did cry for the last 15 minutes

tag yourself i’m everyone pining for romance and focusing on melodrama while there’s a serial killer on the loose

"with our feet on the ground we have flights of fantasy."

demy was a filmmaker with one foot on the ground with real people, real places, real feelings and the other as high in the movie romance cosmos as one can go. song and dance as a real, material thing you do for money and also an expression of your wildest dreams. this is maybe the best musical

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A joyous masterpiece

Rather than rejecting the traditions of Hollywood like many of his contemporaries of the French New Wave, Jacques Demi embraces the Hollywood Musical, giving his take yet making it entirely his own.

I can’t articulate how much I love this movie! Not only does my girlfriend have the soundtrack on constantly but the visual style and colors are burned in my memory.

Music is more central to the plot than any one character, with each future couple singing the same songS before they come together. Establishing clear and recognizable tunes for characters, moods, and settings then weaving them together makes this Michel Legrand’s opus in an already impressive and underrated career.

Also, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it serial killer subplot!

Just pure happiness on screen. Enjoy it!

This is one of those times I desperately wish I spoke French, because the ability to take in the beautiful images on screen without having to constantly draw your eyes to the subtitles almost seems like a privilege. Despite this small hindrance in an otherwise magical viewing experience, I loved every minute of Young Girls. It was everything I wanted The Umbrellas of Cherbourg to be, and much, much more. I love the sensation of being transported into a colorful, sun-soaked dream, one that contrasts so sharply to this gray, dull September afternoon. I’m so happy I finally watched this.

"If only your eyes were blue, i could have died for you."

speechless.

take me away, mr demy.

do you ever just breakdown and cry when a film comes into your life at just the right time!!!!!! this was so so beautiful i am in awe!!!!!! an absolute instant favourite!!!!!! i can’t stop crying!!!!

Jacques Demy is so sick for making us wait until the very end of the movie for the characters to find each other, LIKE ARGH DON’T PLAY ME LIKE THATSHS 😫 

also I screamed when I saw Gene Kelly, like I knew he was showing up because I saw his name in the credits but the way my heart LEAPED when his lovely smile came on screen 🥰💓

the flowers are blooming it’s time for a rewatch

Pretty and all but idk too many funky hats

the definition of IMMACULATE vibes

watched this to improve my french but i got distracted from the visuals, the songs and everything about this movie!!

this is like the prettiest film ever and when she started humming mia + sebastian's theme i did a double take ... jacques demy rly is the blueprint

Mamma Mia, eat your heart out

I need to start taking dance classes again

+ Entrega de looks o filme inteiro

+ gêmeas perfeitas
+ óbvio de onde la la land saiu 🥲

E Rochefort é a cidade perfeita, muitos usam botas brancas e looks perfeitos 😩

Estranho subplot so cara da faca hehe

Film Club #95
Film Club Ranked

I am at a loss for words as to how to describe this truly, truly beautiful film. I am, as always, biased towards musicals: even if they're terrible movies, if the music is in any way good, I will love it. 'The Young Girls of Rochefort' isn't only good because of it's incredible musical moments but for how it looks and what it's about. Every shot is so perfectly crafted and just so...beautiful. I don't know any other word to use. I can't do this movie justice, I am just so so grateful I got to see it, THANK YOU FILM CLUB!! SO many emotions and so much artistry and passion and love ahhhhhh!!!! Haven't enjoyed myself this much watching a new movie in a long time :..)

watching this instead of going to therapy might have been the best decision of my life.

esse filme me fez sorrir MUITO e isso é tudo
