Celine and Julie Go Boating

Where “Alice in Wonderland” meets Cocteau and Proust. The father of the Nouvelle Vague, Jacques Rivette delivers one of the most recognizable films of his career, an identity chase through Paris, that delightfully intertwines fantasy with reality.

Synopsis

When Celine goes traipsing across a Parisian park, unwittingly dropping first a scarf, then other objects, Julie cannot help but follow her, picking up each item. So begins a fanciful relationship between the two, which soon sees Celine sharing Julie's apartment and each of them playfully switching identities in their daily lives. As they increasingly indulge their fantasies, they find themselves trying to rescue a young girl from a supposedly haunted house.
