If you loved The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, try The Young Girls of Rochefort

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jacques Demy, and they both carry the cozy, cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Young Girls of Rochefort is

A sun-bleached seaside musical promises love to those who can’t quite catch it. The twin sisters Delphine and Solange yearn for more than their small-town routine as a weekend fair brings a carousel of strangers too distracted to notice them. By Sunday evening, love is still missing in action.
