The Young Girls Turn 25

Agnès Varda turns her lens on the town of Rochefort, where the characters and locations of her late husband Jacques Demy's iconic musical come alive twenty-five years later. The filmmaker observes actors, dancers, and townspeople gathering to celebrate the anniversary of *The Young Girls of Rochefort*. Footage of the present-day festivities intercuts with archival glimpses of the original film, weaving a dialogue between past and present. Varda captures not just nostalgia, but the vibrant energy of a living legacy—how a work of art can continue to bind a community together across the decades.
