About
(Jacques Demy, France, 1967, 126 min, in French with English subtitles)
Following the massive success of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), Demy stayed on theme with another musical about love, loss, and pastels. Though unlike Umbrellas, The Young Girls of Rochefort is more bright and bubbly, with fantastic dance numbers, a score by frequent collaborator Michel Legrand, and a very memorable surprise appearance by Gene Kelly.
Following the titular twins Delphine and Solange (played by Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), Young Girls tells the story of their yearning for big-city life, and their moment in the spotlight. When their usually quiet town is visited by a fair, escaping their monotonous small town life feels like it could be right within their grasp.
Everything in the film comes together in a burst of upbeat energy, combining the scale and feeling of a Hollywood production with the flair and attitude that only Demy could bring to the table.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
