Love Comes in Two's | THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT reaction & commentary 

What gives the film it’s bitterest edge is the knowledge that the luminous Françoise Dorleac would die so soon after the film was completed.

It’s a tragic this film isn’t better known it’s a masterpiece

My old friend Grover Dale (blue shirt and tie) and George Chakaris orange shirt and red tie) were the two male dancers. Grover and I were in Noel Coward's "Sail Away" with Elaine Stritch on Broadway in 1962

I've analyzed this movie a lot since it's my mum's favourite movie and i learned a lot about Demy and the Young girls of Rochefort. As a french man, i'm deeply interested in our modern history, and Demy did this movie that looks very different from his other movies, it looks very fresh and pastel. It looks very joyful and full of connection. But It DOES have a deeper meaning than just a simple love story ensemble. In this movie 3 generations are represented: - the elders (dutrouz, the twins grandpa) are stuck in the past and reminisce the war at all times, they can't move past it. - the current generation at the time (twin's mother, monsieur Dame, L'Ancien - gallery owner whose name literally means "the old one"). This generation let love go for the dumbest of reasons and are stuck in some kind of meaningless lives. Beatrice, the twins mother, never goes outside of the Fry Shop and that's why she never met Monsieur Dame before. 10 years ago, she left that Monsieur Dame for a sibgle reason: she didnt want to be called Madame Dame. This generation never is fleeing from love. The only time she leaves her shop is to go meet him when her daughter talks about him. She can't even go to get her son out of school! This generation dreams about love but never acts on it. They're also stuck like the elders but they do dream and when they dream, the elder generation put them back in their place talking about the war again, and they forget about it until next time (see Beatrice song at the beginning). - the young generation (Maxence, the Twins, the Carnival people). They are willing to give up everything and anything to pursue their dreams. They act on impulse, because they're hopeful. They're not afraid of the future. That movie really is Demy's message to the next generation to keep dreaming and to follow up on those dreams. To live with no regrets. I love that message. So much. And i also find it very ironic that this generation, the one that Demy trusted and encouraged.... is the Baby Boomer generation... 😅

My two favorite characters are the transporter bridge and the cafe. Seriously, the cafe is incredible. It was built for the film.

I've seen this movie 17 times! I listen to the soundtrack every day! ❤ Thanks for sharing the beauty of this film. 🎉🎉

Agnes Varda made beautiful movies about Jacques (Demy). And she organized and filmed a gathering birthday event in Rochefort called "Les Demoiselles, 20 ans après " (The Young Girls 20 years later). Beautiful and emotional 🥲! I'm happy you loved and rewatched the film 'cause you spoke too mutch and missed the humour and fantasy there was in the lyrics. What a rich collection of all kind of cinema you react to ! I love your channel ! 👍💖

Demy's world is a world apart. He was a dreamer and the kindest man on earth. Bitterness is not far from joy. Deeper than the gay naive and colourful appearences. Delphine/Catherine and Maxence/Jacques Perrin will fall in love again in the fairy tale "Peau d'âne", another beautiful movie of Jacques Demy.

An amazing reaction for an amazing movie, as a 27 yo french guy and a big fan of Michel Legrand's music, I'm ashamed I didn't see this film before. I saw it a week ago for the first time and I fell in love with the innocence of that film and the colours, and the music. I understand now why Jacques Demy and Legrand are such big influences for Damien Chazelle and Justin Hurwitz

you react so sincerely, sensitively and intelligently. love your videos. Eric xxx

Demy saw this film as the third part of a trilogy (Lola and Umbrellas of Cherbourg being the first two parts). The serial killer part refers to that. I believe that initially he intended that the character be Roland Cassard, who appears in the first two films as Lola's unsuccessful suitor and Geneviève's successful suitor (and eventual husband). When the actor Marc Michel proved unable to appear, the role was recast, restyled and downsized.

Some people think Maxence got in a different truck at the end. Certainly there wasn't much room left on the seat of the truck.

Interesting video. I am surprised that you did not talk about the genius music by Michel Legrand.

I love your reviews so much! It's such a joy to see you experience this wonderful movie! All the love

Love this movie and loved your revew!

ロシュフォールの恋人たち、 何度見ても、感激する事バッカリです❗🎤🎼🎶🎶ジョージチャキリスさん、ジーンケリーさん、カトリーヌドヌーブさん、フランソワドレアルックさん、ミシェル・ピコリさん、み〜んな大好きです。❤❤❤❤😂❤🎉🤩🥰😍 💋🧨👠🎷🎺🎸👠👛🎒👠 イイ映画🎦そして、素晴らしい感動❗ どうもありがとうございます。

The guy in "blue" is Grover Dale, who's an amazing dancer in his own right. Unsinkable Molly Brown and half- a -Seixpence for example....

this is the only musical film i’ve ever seen... (except for high school musical series lmfao) it’s really positive and light hearted and everyone’s happy in the end. i wish life was like that:’) and awh, you crying in the end. i hope things will get better. are you keeping in touch with any friends?

I enjoyed this better then west side story tbh

The Best is the kid Boubou also Known as Mike Lookinland and maybe more ...

Are you kidding? Maxance is So cute, he's gorgeous! (but not in that first profile shot). You caught many plot hints quickly. You're good! This is your first film review I've watched but not the last (now a subscriber). I Love that you were very deeply moved, and won over by this, one of my all-time favorite films. The innocence of youth, having faith in each other's love, and things turning out for the best, were pillars of the West's 1960s and 70s youth culture, its roots observed and experienced by me in Southern California. These hopes were tested, even destroyed for many, through the painful complexities of subsequent lives and how we chose to meet and understand them (Umbrellas). This film is definitely "frothy." But the beauty of Demy's palette, which unites this town, its people, and their very energy and daily movements--and, yes, the fundamental innocence of these wonderful characters--makes me love every moment through dozens of viewings. The little twists and embellishments lift me. Dancers sail and twirl over the river on this whimsical bridge (called a transporter bridge, now retired). Horses and riders mysteriously appear, joining this caravan of dancing, singing sailboat and motorcycle peddlers. Then--and I loved it too!--Maxance is physically plucked up at The Last Possible Second, into the very presence of his feminine ideal, just as magically as Dorothy's house landed on top of the Wicked Witch! You didn't have to see it actually happen. It's somehow Enough that it did. This is a genuine fairy tale ending, which is probably why it grabbed then held us so unexpectedly.

He was called " Boo boo" cuz he was an accident

And for people who wanna delve even deeper into Demy land try Peau d'Ane/Donkey Skin and the Pied Piper of Hamelin. And Model Shop !

I'm excited for the this video 🤗💜💜💜

rip françoise dorleac

En mexico incmprendido pero si si es un exelente mucical como otros de l mismo director francoice dorleac murio muy muy joven

....and no it DOESNT get all resolved in the end...... Also the "coincidence" aspect of romantic comedy/tragedy goes as far back as opera/ operetta, Shakespeare and Greek myth most likely. Not strictly a musical movie trope at all. Also the plot in Demoiselles de R. actually turns on MISSED coincidences (and destiny), as they continually miss each other despite the magical magnetism of romance running thru the entire movie.

And it would be very interesting to see a sequel today 🥰🥰🥰

I'm guessing Ron de Santis is a Mademoiselles de Rochefort fan too....

Notice...the limited color palate.. everything is pastel...houses, cars, clothing...you will find indoor lighting is like mid day

Loved your emotion, the NOT showing......yup, it's brilliant. yeah, it's one of my go to movies........Did you or anyone else ever try Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies? it's Demy by Bollywood, class act all the way.

Is there an English dub version

Is he Boo boo because he was an accident?
