Jacques Demy, a seminal figure in French cinema, emerged during the 1960s New Wave movement. Renowned for his imaginative musicals like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Demy's unique blend of whimsy and vibrant visuals created an enduring cinematic legacy. His films, including The Young Girls of Rochefort, showcase his ability to elevate ordinary narratives into enchanting tales, solidifying his place in film history.

Ashlyn and Marta explore Demy's colorful world and break down his informal Romance Trilogy: “Lola” (1961), “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” (1964), and “The Young Girls of Rochefort” (1967).
