Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
Synopsis
In the seaside town of Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange dream of love and artistic fulfillment beyond their quiet lives. As sailors, artists, musicians, and chance visitors pass through town during a weekend fair, a web of near-misses and romantic longing brings ideal partners tantalizingly close—without their realizing it.
Cinema Atlas Connection
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort were definitely influences. I loved the way Demy combined the melancholy with the joy and the saturated color palette.
