Céline and Julie Go Boating (Céline et Julie vont en bateau: Phantom Ladies over Paris

In Céline and Julie Go Boating, a magical world is created by Jacques Rivette’s visionary auteurship and the mesmerizing performances of his collaborators, Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier, who play Céline and Julie, respectively. The film centers on these two Parisian women whose kinship is built on an exuberant and dreamy journey around the city of Paris.
