Daguerréotypes is not a film about the Rue Daguerre (a picturesque street in the fourteenth district of Paris where I live), it is a film about one block of that street (between the number 70 and the number 90). This is not an inquiry nor a sociological study of the inhabitants.
“Daguerreotypes” is Miss Varda’s beautiful homage to Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, a pioneer in the history of photography. Strictly speaking, the form here is documentary, but the film is more important as a witty, very humane appreciation of Miss Varda’s friends and neighbors on a short section of the Rue Daguerre, a lively street of small shops in Paris’s 14th Arrondissement, which borders Montparnasse – New York TimesWatch the trailer with English Subtitles: https://youtu.be/5iaIge_aVHk?si=Q-da_oUop3rZ_IJI

“Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), long for big-city life; when a fair comes through their quiet port town, so does the possibility of escape. With its jazzy Michel Legrand score, pastel paradise of costumes, and divine supporting cast (George Chakiris, Grover Dale, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, and Gene Kelly), The Young Girls of Rochefort is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.” – Synopsis
“Jacques Demy, writer-director, and Michel Legrand, composer, who did the successful musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, reunite for a more ambitious pic that adds dance to a tale of small-town life. It has charm, sustained human observation, mixed with catchy music, dances and songs to come up as a tuner with grace and dynamism.” – Variety

Having become immensely rich, he returns under the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the three men who betrayed him.” – Synopsis
“Remarkably made for under $50 million, the production looks stunning, from its superior cinematography by Nicolas Bolduc, magnificent production design by Stéphane Taillasson and an excellent score from Jérôme Rebotier. Delaporte and de la Patellliere have made something fresh and exciting from one of the oldest stories.” – Deadline
