The umbrellas are gone, but the music never left Rochefort.
In the summer of 2021, the Sœurs Jumelles festival was launched in Rochefort, a place where music and images come together. A film concert was held there on June 23 in tribute to Michel Legrand and Jacques Demy.
Score
Legrand's melodies live again, performed where they were born.
Production
Rochefort itself becomes the third collaborator.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Sœurs Jumelles festival name references Demy's 1967 film 'Les Demoiselles de Rochefort' and its twin sister stars, Deneuve and Dorléac.
Legrand and Demy made only six films together, yet their collaboration defined an entire aesthetic of candy-colored melancholy that French cinema still chases.
