Jacques Demy makes his feature length debut in a solidly crafted drama that signaled great things to come. Demy is able to craft enjoyable characters in a film that interconnects their stories in a rather beautiful way. Thematically, our characters seek purpose, with themselves and with one other. The way Demy is able to interconnect and mirror these stories is very well done. Add to that some nice black & white camera work and you have film that demonstrates Demy's unique style and sets him apart from other directors.
