Les demoiselles de Rochefort (1967)

English Title: The Young Girls of Rochefort
Synopsis: The lives of the people at Rochefort are shaken by the arrival of several people from out of town. Loves are born, or reborn.
Appraisal: This film has undeniable qualities that easily overcome its main defect, the mediocre choreography. Basically about finding one's "other half", and how chance is always interfering with people's lives, it may work best for people who place great importance on those subjects. But this is not a prerequisite for enjoying the film. Its artfulness in the blending of story, scenery, beautiful music and not so beautiful dance makes it quite enjoyable by anyone.
Rating: 58
