THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT

(1967) Real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac are music-teaching twin sisters whose dream is to blow Nantes and find love; dancers in the upcoming fair George Chakiris  (West Side Story, playing Oct 6 in Film Forum Jr.) Chakiris and Grover Dale need new partners; their mother Danielle Darrieux mourns lost love Michel Piccoli, who has returned, and awaits colleague Gene Kelly; while poet/painter and about-to-be discharged sailor Jacques Perrin dreams of an ideal, whose portrait resembles Deneuve. Do they all meet? Some actual dialogue, but mainly non-stop singing and dancing through the sunny streets of the port. Approx. 125 min. DCP.
