friend: how are y–
me: NOUS SOMMES DEUX SOEURS JUMELLES NÉES SOUS LE SIGNE DES GÉMEAUX
tag yourself i’m everyone pining for romance and focusing on melodrama while there’s a serial killer on the loose
My favorite part was when they sang a series of cheery musical numbers about an innocent woman getting brutally murdered with an axe.
"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
"If only your eyes were blue, i could have died for you."
speechless.
take me away, mr demy.
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.
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!
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!!!!
