The very last film by Jacques Demy and for me also the last film of his that I had to watch. And I think it's a farewell with a bang. The film combines the visual flair of his early successes (Les Umbrellas de Cherbourg, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort), a risqué and increasingly uncomfortable incest theme (featured in Peau d'Ane), music by Michel Legrand … and the belief in love does come out anyway. It is certainly also a homage from Demy to his sources of inspiration, in particular the American musical, some of which have been incorporated into Yves Montand's show. Yves Montand is the star of this film. At that time he was fin de career, but it is the first time that he dances and sings in a French film. In fact, it is also a homage by Montand to the same American musical of which Demy is an adept. It's amazing how reality and fiction are intertwined here. At one point Montand brings a medley of American classics to the stage, including a song by Marilyn Monroe. Meanwhile, we see some of her lookalikes on stage, knowing that Montand had a relationship with Monroe in real life. Demy therefore wrote this film especially for Montand. The rest of the cast can certainly also be there with Mathilda May as a great sidekick. Certain twists in the story come across as a bit naive, but I'll take that further. Legrand's music also appealed to me even though his signature style went through the 80s mill.
