Jacques Demy’s magnificent New Wave experiment is a vibrant pop-art musical romance like nothing else.

Jacques Demy’s magnificent New Wave experiment is a vibrant pop-art musical romance like nothing else. Bursting with gorgeous, saturated pastel colours and flawless photography, this playful pop-operetta is a cinematic triumph of sumptuous sights and sounds. An everyday working-class love story is heightened into a gloriously bittersweet rhapsody of song when two young lovers are tragically separated by the Algerian War. A fanciful French ode to the MGM musical and a heart-rending fairy tale on real-world love.

In French with English subtitles.
