French Film Fancy: Les Demoiselles de Rochefort


Immerse yourself in the all-singing, all-dancing world of Late sixties france with "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort". It's colourful, camp and unapologetically feel-good. It follows the story of twin sisters over the course of one weekend. In a nut-shell it is a comedic love-story full of coincidental encounters and happy endings. A stand out feature in the film is undoubtably the costumes which are almost as dramatic as the action! Floppy hats, bold dresses and plenty of sequins lend themselves to a visually exciting watch. "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort" seems all the more relevant again with the recent sixties revival that we have been seeing on and off the catwalks. A/W 14 was littered with bold colours, clean lines and embellishment all of which are strongly featured in this film. It's not only a wonderful throw-back but inspiration for the season ahead.
