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

After their award-winning success with 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg', director Jacques Demy, composer Michel Legrand and star Catherine Deneuve re-teamed for this second Gallic take on the classic Hollywood musical. Denueve and her real-life sister Francoise Dorleac play a pair of music-teacher siblings looking for love in a pastel-coloured French coastal town. Dorleac is busy composing a symphony, while Deneuve has just broken up from her arrogant art dealer boyfriend, and together they are both preparing to perform at the local paegant. Meanwhile, a visiting American (Gene Kelly) discovers some music written by Dorleac and wonders how he can ever meet the composer, whilst a love-lorn sailor (Jacques Perrin) paints portaits of his dream girl, a young woman who looks surprisingly like Deneuve.
