About this event

In the seaside town of Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange dream of love and artistic fulfilment beyond their tranquil daily lives. Over the course of a weekend fair, sailors, artists, musicians, and chance visitors drift through town, creating a series of near-misses and romantic longings that bring ideal partners tantalisingly close. With its jazzy score by Michel Legrand, pastel-hued costumes, and a radiant supporting cast, Jacques Demy, sixties French cinema’s great romantic dreamer, followed The Umbrellas of Cherbourg with this buoyant tribute to Hollywood optimism. This screening is 18+ and will begin at the advertised time above. Runtime: 126 minutes Director: Jacques Demy Country: France Year: 1962 Film
