Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974)
A film by Jacques Rivette
This is a marvellous offering from Jacques Rivette. It's a bit long at 192 minutes, but has a surreal childish charm running through it. A playful and enjoyable tale of two women who become friends, and by eating magic candy, discover a house where four ghostly characters (plus Celine & Julie) act out another film. They sit there watching themselves within the other story, even changing into each other in a split second while talking to a man in the other story. It's a wonderfully surreal look at two women's friendship and playful freedom.
