Demy’s shebert-hued homage to classic Hollywood musicals features Catherine Deneuve and Gene Kelly.    Two sisters, a painter, and a music show owner in Rochefort are looking for love, looking for each other, without being aware that their ideal partner is very close…

The basis for La La Land — this vibrant 1960s French musical broke the norms of Broadway and opted for poignancy rather than flashy show-stopping numbers to tell the story of two star-crossed lovers in a small coastal town in France. The film was brilliantly restored by Agnes Varda in the 1990s to its signature breathtakingly colorful palette.

Known for its lush visual style, Varda’s film challenges monogamy in a nuanced examination of the human condition. In suburban Paris, a young husband and father, perfectly content with his life, falls in love with another woman.

Agnes Varda’s masterpiece and study in humanity starts with Mona Bergeron’s dead, frozen body — found in a ditch in the French countryside. From there, the film flashes back to the weeks leading up to her death and her decline as she travels from place to place and works odd jobs.
