TLDR
Mild spoilers: Yes, there was an axe murderer mentioned, I was surprised too.
What it's about
The take
Where The Umbrellas of Cherbourg lamented the tragedy of one missed connection, Jacques Demy follows it up with a much more upbeat love story in The Young Girls of Rochefort. It’s more hopeful. Even before you watch the end, it's clear that there's not one, but two chances at a happy ending, since there are two couples. But on top of that, it's the girls' conviction in love that makes everything brighter. Despite the logistics of their act, or the coincidences that had to align, or even the serial killer mentioned, The Young Girls of Rochefort remains bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, celebrating the bubbly optimism that musicals would have us believe in.
