friend: how are y–
me: NOUS SOMMES DEUX SOEURS JUMELLES NÉES SOUS LE SIGNE DES GÉMEAUX
tag yourself i’m everyone pining for romance and focusing on melodrama while there’s a serial killer on the loose
My favorite part was when they sang a series of cheery musical numbers about an innocent woman getting brutally murdered with an axe.
"With our feet on the ground, we have flights of fantasy."
Demy was a filmmaker with one foot on the ground with real people, real places, and real feelings, and the other as high in the movie romance cosmos as one can go. Song and dance as a real, material thing you do for money and also an expression of your wildest dreams. This is maybe the best musical.
"If only your eyes were blue, i could have died for you."
speechless.
take me away, mr demy.
This is one of those times I desperately wish I spoke French, because the ability to take in the beautiful images on screen without having to constantly draw your eyes to the subtitles almost seems like a privilege. Despite this small hindrance in an otherwise magical viewing experience, I loved every minute of Young Girls. It was everything I wanted The Umbrellas of Cherbourg to be, and much, much more. I love the sensation of being transported into a colorful, sun-soaked dream, one that contrasts so sharply to this gray, dull September afternoon. I’m so happy I finally watched this.
hey jacques demy! girl you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for all of us and doing it flawlessly
me: a french musical with dance numbers AND gene kelly. this couldn't get any better
me when the random axe murderer subplot begins: holy fuck it got better
