My Moviebot already
wrote about Jacques Rivette's
Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974), but I'm not going to let that stop me from gushing a bit about how completely wonderful this movie is.
Celine is a cabaret magician. Julie is a librarian. [And to you librarians out there, the library scenes are awesome. Books get slammed, tarot cards get read, and in one scene Julie (who is smoking at the front desk) asks a patron if he would please smoke discretely.] They meet in a park. They become roommates. They pretend to be each other. They somehow find a haunted house and become involved in the repeating story of its inhabitants. They eat a lot of candies. They go boating.
None of this conveys the awesomeness of this film: So go rent it. It is, for some reason, not yet available on DVD, but you know you can find it at the video store. Go do it.
