Celine And Julie Go Boating

Celine (Juliet Berto), a magician, and Julie (Dominique Labourier), a Librarian, meet in Montmartre and wind up sharing the same flat, bed, finance, clothes, identity and imagination. Soon, thanks to a magic sweet, they find themselves spectators, then participants, in a Henry James-inspired 'film-within-the-film' - a melodrama unfolding in a mysterious suburban house with the 'Phantom Ladies Over Paris' (Bulle Ogier and Marie-France Pisier), a sinister man (Barbet Schroeder) and his child. The atmosphere, however, is more Lewis Carroll, with Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier as twin Alices. The four main actresses improvised their own dialogue in collaboration with Rivette and scriptwriter Eduardo de Gregorio.

    Not what I expected

    Looking forward to a nice piece of French whimsy - but soon got tired of it's arty style and it simply didn't make me want to care about the two main characters - so gave up.

    Much Ado about nothing

    I can see how the film is meant to be whimsical and zany in a very French way. However I simply found it irritating. It wa a 'girlie' film (French translation?) without much substance. But then one can't argue about taste.
