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

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 Young Girls of Rochefort, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is

Love blossoms in a small French town. Guy and Geneviève's romance is put to the test when he leaves for combat. It's a classic tale of young love versus practicality.
