Les Demoiselles ont eu 25 ans
Agnès Varda

Souvenirs of happy times might still be a source of joy. In the city of Rochefort, in 1966, Jacques Demy made his famous musical "The Young Girls of Rochefort" with the delightful Deneuve-Dorléac sisters. In 1992, the city organised a celebration, 25 years after the opening of the film. Agnès Varda has made a colorful documentary by mixing - with her special touch - the images of the 1966 summer shooting with what she shot during the summer of 1992 : two feasts of cinema ! She met the people of Rochefort who vividly remember that time. She spoke with Catherine Deneuve, Jacques Perrin and with some other friends of the film. As for the former extras, they have grown up as the lindens did around the Colbert square.
