In loving homage, Varda went to Rochefort to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Demy’s THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT, which one resident claims “belongs to the people of Rochefort, like a gigantic home movie.” Clips from Demy’s film, behind-the scenes footage, and interviews with cast and crew illuminate the influence of the town on the film and vice versa.
