The potatoes go black.

I know...

I'll make the heads

out of cardboard.

Come along, everyone!

Hurry up, please!

Next show in 15 minutes!

Snow White is pretty.

I liked the witch.

I knew you would.

Grumpy's always grumpy.

He didn't stop sneezing.

That was Sneezy, dopey!

You must see the film.

It's terrific and scary.

My father promised to take me

if I get good marks.

I'm going again tomorrow.

Me too. I'm going on Sunday.

Hello. I've seen it too.

I like the witch best.

He's got a crush on Snow White.

Don't say that.

You said the other day

she was for you.

I didn't, but she's not bad.

She always sings

when she sweeps...

when she washes up...

and when she bakes cakes.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

I met three lads from my hometown

I was kissed by the youngest

Who was also the handsomest

He took me to his room

To talk of our hometown...

A whole bowl

A whole bowl of milk

Nice and creamy

Nice and creamy, please

Some sifted sugar

And then you mix

You mix it well

Mama, they're outside!

Come see, there are giant dwarfs.

You've got them all, even Dopey.

A bit of chocolate?

Yes, please.

You're lucky to have them all.

Haven't you got Snow White?

No, I don't care

two hoots about her.

She can't do the splits.

I can.

You try.

Go on, clumsy, try again.

Push downwards...

Stretch your legs...

We could work up

an acrobatics act

and tour the world in a circus.

If you like.

Keep trying.

Push!

Keep it rolling with your stick...

The Three Musketeers!

I've got my pay...

Pass me a spanner.

Let me treat you

to a lakeside lunch...

Can you manage?

Caroline, Caroline!

Put your best shoes on...

It's war! Mobilisation!

That's all what we needed!

God knows where I'll be sent.

You with your bad leg,

you'll stay here.

Take those sacks to the cellars

for a shelter.

We need some in the attics too.

If my two sons go off to war...

They'll test gas masks

at school.

Reine will look like a fly.

Me, a fly?

You have a fly up your nose

and Jacquot too.

You'd be a beautiful fly.

I've given him a big moustache.

Look, will that do you?

Oh, yes.

It fits.

She's the one with the hair.

- You don't hit puppets.

- Just a bit.

You think it's here?

- Demy, Raymond Marcel?

- That's me.

It's your posting.

The arsenal isn't very far.

I'll be home every night.

Better to make shells

than be hit by them.

Do you think they're asleep? Check.

They're fine.

- Makes a change from a beret.

- Good luck, neighbour.

Your lunch bag...

Grandma,

can you make a cape

for my puppet?

Not black like that,

but with this shiny cloth?

Of course, Jacquot,

but I must finish this.

Look at these pearls...

The woman's coming

Jacques Demy

Jacques Demy (French: [ʒak dəmi]; 5 June 1931 – 27 October 1990) was a French director, lyricist, and screenwriter. He appeared in the wake of the French New Wave alongside contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. Demy's films are celebrated for their sumptuous visual style. Demy's style drew upon such diverse sources as classic Hollywood musicals, the documentary realism of his New Wave colleagues, fairy-tales, jazz, Japanese manga, and the opera. His films contain overlapping continuity (i.e., characters cross over from film to film), lush musical scores (typically composed by Michel Legrand) and motifs like teenaged love, labor rights, incest, and the intersection between dreams and reality. He is best known for the two musicals he directed in the mid-1960s: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967). more…
