rosalie' s activities would look strictly larcenous if they weren' t also rather sweet. transplanted from west germany to the rural backwater of stuttgart, ark. , rosalie is, according to the film maker percy adlon, simply trying her best to understand, practice and master the american way .

rosalie blum is a film in three parts. in the middle section, told from the point of view of blum’s niece, we realise that the title character is not, as it first seemed, oblivious to vincent’s presence .
the biggest hit in the 27 - year history of the alliance française french film festival, julien rappeneau’s enchanting directorial debut rosalie blum is a witty and ingeniously crafted comedy about a random encounter that has unexpected and life - changing consequences .
the big, big, production number comes at the seventy - minute mark. it' s worth sticking with the film for .
review: rosalie blum is a sweet but far - from - sugary french comedy about three appealing misfits .
this film' s supposed to be a fantasy, and i bet the people who hated it are the ones trying to take it literally .
with its themes of fraternity, love and the need for human connection, rosalie blum is a joy to watch .
the difficult, adventurous, happy life of rosalie sorrels: the record during her remarkable life, rosalie sorrels' was adored by hunter s. thompson and studs terkel, was backed by jerry garcia at woodstock and an early supporter of townes van zandt .
we' re an independent, family - owned australian film distribution company, representing films across australia and new zealand since 1965, & the sister division of palace cinemas .
'' rosalie goes shopping'' is rated pg ('' parental guidance suggested''). it has some sexual references .
also contributing to the film' s offbeat, merrily unpredictable mood are rosalie' s visiting parents (erika blumberger and willy harlander), who hardly approve of rosalie' s new life as a mall dweller but are soon reduced to visiting a local duck museum and buying the souvenir sweatshirts. judge reinhold, presiding over the sacred heart of the prairie church, is amusingly dumbfounded and also furtively intrigued by the confessions rosalie insists on making, all as part of her little game. he can smell her coming even when he can' t see her, since she often has a new perfume .
★★★★★ “a small jewel of tenderness, emotion and intelligence. really clever and skillfully led from start to finish, to its great outcome, rosalie blum takes you in its arms in a kind of melancholy sweetness tinged with a touch of humour and emotion. go discover this beautiful film in theatres. ” jean - christian hay, gala
this a a cool film with eleanor powell who is visiting the united states, meets a football player and serviceman she is the daughter of a king who talks to a puppet for help .
this minute he is served by the dowdy shopkeeper, rosalie blum (noemie lvovsky), vincent is struck by a powerful sense of déjà vu .
contributing greatly to the blithe, high - rolling mischief of'' rosalie goes shopping'' are songs by bob telson, one of them a prayer imploring the lord to'' turn my debts into debts of gratitude.'' in a more sharply satirical film this might be overkill, but here it' s light as air .
julien rappeneau’s enchanting directorial debut rosalie blum is a warm, witty and impeccably performed comedy about a random encounter that has unexpected and far - reaching consequences .
julien rappeneau’s enchanting directorial debut rosalie blum is a warm, witty and impeccably performed comedy about a random encounter that has unexpected and life - changing consequences .
“a joy! fresh and engaging. a feel - good film which combines humour and eccentric touches with surges of genuine emotion. light and life - affirming. ” boyd van hoeij, the hollywood reporter
originally to be filmed with marion davies in 1928. the production was abruptly halted when mgm converted its studio to sound. the 1936 film incorporated footage from the unfinished 1928 production, mostly exterior shots .
i met rosalie about fifteen years after that, staying with one of those friends in saratoga springs. lena spencer, who ran the caffè lena, had provided one of the family' s havens, and now rosalie and holly were returning the favor. i came through to play the caffè, rosalie cooked one of her amazing meals, everyone traded songs till well after midnight, and the next morning i woke up on the couch to hear her whistling as she swept the kitchen. she was a good whistler, and a great singer — the best description came from her mother, nancy stringfellow, who used to cook chicken basted in
rosalie sauce ,
so called because
it is made of wine and honey and cayenne, like my rosalie' s voice .
we' ve come to expect a french feelgood movie for christmas every year. this time, it' s rosalie blum, a wistful comedy cleverly built on a chain of happy coincidences. well, they eventually turn out to be happy. watching them gradually reveal their nature to the benefit of all players is one of the film' s major pleasures .
based on camille jourdy’s graphic novels, rosalie blum is a sweet but far - from - sugary comedy about three misfits who bring out the best in each other .
merrily exploring the american way - rosalie goes shopping, directed by percy adlon; screenplay by mr. adlon, eleonore adlon and christopher doherty; director of photography, bernd heinl; edited by jean - claude piroue; music by bob telson; production designer, stephen lineweaver; produced by the adlons; released by four seasons entertainment. running time: 94 minutes. this film is rated pg .
i forgot to mention, how at the end of rosalie' s number dancing on the different sized drums, that there was that overhead shot of maybe somewhere ...

though the film debuted with a rather modest 143, 000 admissions in france in its first week, numbers are down just over 25% in its second week, suggesting this rosalie will have gorgeously long legs. it’s already been scooped up for several international territories, including australia, and should do well with the middlebrow segment overseas who like their french films light and life - affirming but not stupid .
★★★★★ “poignant, original, full of surprises, julien rappeneau’s debut film is reminiscent of amelie in his original way to re - enchant the everyday, finding the extraordinary in its ordinary, realistic characters. the performers are all wonderful. ” valérie beck, femme actuelle
most of us, if we made it to the carnival at all, avoided some of the scarier rides, and much as we admired rosalie for taking them, we' ll never know that feeling .
dick thorpe, playing football for west point in the big game against navy, is the hero when the game ends in a tie. rosalie, a vassar student who tells no one that she is the princess of a small country, thinks dick is conceited, but makes plans to meet him later in the year in europe. meanwhile, rosalie has been promised to prince paul in an arranged marriage. dick, who flies his own plane, lands and learns that rosalie' s country is in chaos. dick doesn' t know that rosalie is a princess, and thinks she' s just a peasant. the king greets the lindbergh - type pilot and agrees to help him find the woman he loves. the couple is eventually re - united, but are separated again when the people revolt and the royal family must flee to the us. dick and rosalie meet again in the us, have a few love problems at west point, work things out, and sing of their love to each other in a huge finale .
aude is shown using a minolta x - 300s slr film camera and what is seen when looking through the viewfinder. the viewfinder displays a range of available apertures and the selected one highlighted. however, the real viewfinder shows only the selected aperture, through a window .
indeed, with its themes of the importance of altruism, forgiveness and the value of compassion, rosalie blum delivers an ever - timely reminder of the best that french cinema has to offer. it’s a joy to watch .
in'' rosalie goes shopping,'' co - written by the director and his wife, eleonore adlon, rosalie manages for a long time to coexist cheerfully with small - town bankers and shopkeepers who surely must flinch when they see her coming, with creditors who send her so many notices that even the mailman is impressed, and with a family so wholeheartedly on her wavelength that they all sit around parroting television commercials in unison ('' oh, i can' t believe the difference!''). then, finally, getting an extra boost from her home computer, rosalie hooks herself up with local industry and makes it into the financial big league .
based on the award - winning series of graphic novels by camille jourdy, julien rappeneau’s enchanting directorial debut rosalie blum is a warm, witty and impeccably performed comedy about a random encounter that has unexpected and far - reaching consequences .
the third and last chapter, in which rosalie finally takes center stage, ties up all of the loose ends when blum happens to make an appointment to get her hair done in vincent’s salon. rappeneau, who also wrote the adaptation, allows the film’s more emotional undercurrents to surface more clearly here as it emerges that the story’s really about the characters’ daily battle against loneliness and their very human need for a connection. refreshingly, rappeneau and the always pitch - perfect lvovsky never make rosalie into a saint or manic pixie fortysomething. quite the contrary, actually, as her backstory turns out to be rather dark, the better to tie in with the important (if not exactly original) message that everybody not only craves a connection but also deserves a second chance .
the film' s star is kyan khojandi, a chunky, balding and rather hangdog figure who is now one of france' s most popular comics. director julien rappeneau cast him after seeing his work on the canal + sketch comedy series bref, which can be sampled on youtube if you speak french .
rosalie greenspace (marianne sagebrecht) is a queen - sized woman with a heart to match, and she can' t help being generous to a fault. each of the important people in rosalie' s life seems to need something, something that person can sometimes describe right down to the brand name and list price and serial number. it just so happens that rosalie keeps a secret stash of bad credit cards and bouncing checks, toying with these things in the privacy of her bedroom as if they were illicitly satisfying - as indeed they are. using these hidden resources, she does her best to supply the computer, the crop - duster or the 16 1 / 2 - pound catfish that would warm some family member' s heart .
but it is such a preposterous plot with ageing football star eddy falling in love with princess powell and flying half way across the world to her little country (ruled by frank morgan and edna may oliver who seem to have wandered in from another film altogether), that it becomes rather tedious and feels a lot longer than its two hour running time .
he also thinks of himself as having a girlfriend even though he' s seen little of her since she moved to paris. clearly, he needs shaking up, although this seems highly unlikely until the day he sets eyes on rosalie blum (noemie lvovsky), a local shopkeeper .
rosalie craig and michelle terry will perform in becoming: part one, a piece they have written together about their memories of giving birth six months ago. having both become mothers at the end of 2016, they will share the personal experiences which they say they are already starting to forget .
i saw it at the french film festival in sydney 2016. it is everything i love in a film: well written, original ideas, quirky, humorous, great character development, affirming relationships, satisfactory resolution but not saccharine. each of the characters has moved on to a new place in their lives, and there is more to come. france pumps out films of very high quality with great regularity... . and the rom - com genre is a favourite. this one s a cut above the rest because it contains pathos without being clichéd. the plot is divided into chapters, re - telling events from the point of view of the three main characters. i love this... . each re - telling provides reveals which move the story along, and provide laughs .
…then returned to musicals with rosalie (1937), a laboured production starring eddy and eleanor powell, with songs by cole porter. marie antoinette (1938) was an overlong but solid biopic about the austrian princess who became queen of france. the lavish drama was a showcase for norma shearer, though robert morley’s
it would be difficult to say where mr. adlon would be without the incomparable ms. sagebrecht, the star of his earlier films'' sugarbaby'' and'' bagdad cafe'' and the shrewd yet beatific center of this one. with her doll' s features and her feisty, oversized body, this actress is as physically startling as she is temperamentally unique. someone else might have made rosalie more abrasive or her motives more identifiably anti - establishment, thus heightening the faint element of cultural condescension at the heart of this west german - born film maker' s vision of desolate, merchandise - mad americana. but ms. sagebrecht is so disarming, so serenely tough and so utterly unclassifiable that her presence works real magic .
when i published a book, riding with strangers, i planned a hitchhiking tour from portland to boston and asked rosalie if she could recommend a bookstore in boise. other friends did that for me in other towns, but rosalie responded with four stores, scattered across idaho, and the suggestion that she drive me around and trade songs at the readings. it was a ridiculously generous offer and a wonderful week. we traveled her favorite roads, listened to her stories and stayed with her friends. at every reading she sang
hitchhiker in the rain ,
the song she wrote for her older son, david, who committed suicide in 1976, and it tore the room apart .
it doesn' t take her long to discover that vincent is stalking her. then she takes a decision that will change both their lives. she asks her niece, aude (alice isaaz), to follow him and find out what he' s up to. naturally, aude' s friends, cecile (sara giraudeau) and laura (camille rutherford) want in on the assignment and suddenly the film takes on a screwball quality. inspector clouseau has nothing on these three .
i was surprised to see that quote — she counted more - famous writers among her fans and friends. hunter s. thompson and ken kesey were particularly close — thompson wrote the liner notes to her 1972 travelin' lady lp, declaring ,
some of rosalie' s songs are so close to the bone that i get nervous listening to them .
studs terkel wrote notes to another, and in a 1969 piece for cosmopolitan magazine, nat hentoff called her
an uncommonly personal and probing singer and composer
and promised ,
she' s not well known yet, but she will be .
a film clip from the woodstock festival that year, below, shows her singing in a field, backed by jerry garcia and david bromberg. the next year, hentoff included her if i could be the rain in a list of his favorite albums .
fortunately, along with the music, rosalie had a talent for friendship .
one of the things i' ve always found so incredible about my mother ,
shelley says ,
was that with all the challenges, her friends were always there for her. there aren' t many people that will take in a folk singer with five children, but she had incredible friends .
if hentoff' s prediction never quite came true, that was because rosalie' s life included a lot more than music. after making three albums back in utah with her husband jim on guitar, including the first recorded songs by her friend utah phillips, she went eastward in 1966 for the newport folk festival, before deciding to end the marriage and strike out on her own. as she sang in
travelin' lady

thirty - something vincent machot (indelibly played by kyan khojandi) is a hairdresser, like his father before him. life rotates around work, his overbearing mother who lives in the apartment upstairs, and a womanising cousin constantly trying to set him up. but one morning vincent experiences a powerful déjà - vu when he meets the gaze of a grocery store clerk, rosalie blum (the fabulous noémie lvovsky). intrigued by this mysterious woman, he begins following her…
★★★★1 / 2 “a wistful comedy cleverly built on a chain of happy coincidences… watching them gradually reveal their nature to the benefit of all players is one of the film’s major pleasures. it’s funny, it’s melancholy and it’s sometimes both at once. much of what makes it work is in the playing. lvovsky is full of the spirit of mischief – in a benign sense – and the fun in khojandi’s performance springs from his reading of vincent’s character. isaaaz, too, has no difficulty finding the pathos in aude’s shambolic way of life. they all make terrific company. ” sandra hall, sun - herald / the sunday age
rosalie could be cranky about the path of her career, though more about the finances than the fame. she would have liked to be able to provide a better cushion for her children and not to have to worry about her health care. she couldn' t help noticing that most of the men who had been rambling folksingers along with her in the' 60s had younger wives taking care of them, while she had her son and daughters and didn' t want to burden them .
thirty - something vincent machot (indelibly played by kyan khojandi) is a hairdresser, like his father before him. life rotates around work, his overbearing mother who lives in the apartment upstairs, and a womanising cousin constantly trying to set him up. but one morning vincent experiences a powerful déjà - vu when he meets the gaze of a grocery store clerk, rosalie blum (the fabulous noémie lvovsky). intrigued by this mysterious woman, he begins a search to uncover the truth behind their connection…
it' s rappeneau' s script but his chief talent lies in the balance that he brings to its disparate moods and points of view. it' s funny, it' s melancholy and it' s sometimes both at once. for aude, who' s at odds with her wealthy family, life has stalled, as it has for vincent. and rosalie, too, is shadowed by events from her past. they' re all reluctant to take the next necessary step, whatever that might be, until chance brings them together .
vincent machot knows his life by heart. he shares between his hairdressing salon, his cousin, his cat, and his too invasive mother. but life sometimes surprises even the most cautious - he meets up with rosalie blum, a mysterious and lonely woman, he is convinced to have already met her. but where? intrigued, he decides to follow her everywhere, hoping to learn more. he did not suspect that this spinning takes him on an adventure full of surprises, where he will discover fantastic characters as endearing. one thing is certain: vincent machot' s life will change .
the film’s first of three chapters — which mirror the three tomes of the graphic novel — centers on vincent (khojandi), a shy hairdresser in a provincial french town whose overbearing mother (mono - monikered veteran actress anemone) lives one floor up in the same building. needy and not the type to ever actually listen, his mom asks him for lemons on a sunday so he’s forced to bike into a part of town he doesn’t normally frequent to find a corner shop that’s open. this is where vincent first spies the titular heroine (lvovsky) and perhaps because he has a girlfriend in paris who keeps cancelling her visits back home to see him, he becomes obsessed with blum, to the point where he obsessively (if secretively) starts following her around .
interviewed in 2005 for a television tribute, way out in idaho, rosalie explained she was starting concerts with a reynolds song ,
this world ,
because
things are really bad right now, and i' ve been through what i think is rotten at least four times that i can think of – which is hopeful to me, because i made it through all those things, and i want to communicate that to other people, that even though things get really rotten, you actually can survive them, and that the world is a beautiful place, and it' s worth doing .
rosalie sorrels died this week, at her daughter holly' s house in reno, nevada, with her daughter shelley and son kevin at her side. she was 83 years old, and had crammed a lot of living into those years. the new york times quoted an old piece of mine in its obituary :
she traveled around the country while raising five children. she drinks strong men under the table and is the first one up in the morning, bright and cheery and planning one of her famous dinners. and she can make the noisiest barroom crowd shut up and listen when she sings .
as for the songs, some were her own, but many were by friends; she did an album of malvina reynolds compositions, and was an early supporter of townes van zandt and jimmie dale gilmore. in particular, she sang the songs of bruce
utah
phillips, first
rock salt and nails ,
which he sang privately in her salt lake kitchen and she spread to all the other people who have done it over the years. then
if i could be the rain
and dozens more. though phillips eventually became better known than she was, for many years his reputation was as the guy who wrote rosalie' s songs .

rosalie was a fighter — and she had a lot to fight against. but the dark moments were balanced by her deep love of life and of the people around her. if she read this she would immediately point out that mostly she was fighting for, not against. she really did believe the world was a beautiful place, and tried to show people that beauty, onstage and off. the hard times were part of that, but in that documentary she countered a suggestion that she hadn' t been a great success, by asking ,
what do you mean i' m not successful? i do what i like to do... i have the respect and the friendship of my peers. i live in a house my father made with his hands. i have a damn good life .
the early going establishes the picturesque small - town decor and the tone of the material, which combines humor and eccentric touches with surges of genuine emotion (the fact belle and sebastien’s
get me away from here, i’m dying
is on the soundtrack pretty much says it all). but narratively, nothing much seems to be out of the ordinary until part two starts, which focuses on the twentysomething aude (alice isaaz), who was just a bystander in one scene in part one. her precise connection to the story of vincent and rosalie is a joy to discover for those unfamiliar with the novels, while rappeneau and isaaz also manage to flesh out the undecided aude’s own character, even though her girlfriends (camille rutherford, sara giraudeau) and middle - aged roommate (philippe rebbot) never quite spring loose from their overly familiar quirky - best - friends / oddball - roommate molds .
rosalie always considered herself a singer more than a songwriter. her heroes were people who had what she called
the heartfelt tone
– the brazilian soprano bidu sayão, billie holiday, edith piaf, patsy cline, sam cooke, david hidalgo of los lobos. it had nothing to do with genre and everything to do with feeling. she treasured traditional folklore and made her first professional reputation singing songs she had collected in utah and idaho, but would also tell of late - night dinners cooked for count basie' s musicians when they came through salt lake. she liked any music that related directly to people' s lives. in later years, her performances were autobiographical one - woman shows, the songs interspersed with stories, poems, and readings from her mother' s report from grimes creek after a hard winter or the musings of gino sky, her beat poet friend and sometime - housemate .

french actors noemi lvovsky, alice isaaz and kyan khojandi headline julien rappeneau' s adaptation of the eponymous graphic novel .
rappeneau has assembled a top - drawer technical crew that includes costume designer isabelle pannetier (intouchables), who telegraphs a lot of information about each character in her designs; editor stan collet (zulu), whose nimble cuts allow new angles and insights on the same story to emerge organically throughout; and the director’s brother, martin rappeneau (the tuche family), who composed the glowingly temperamental score .
to reveal more would only spoil the surprises of rappeneau’s ingeniously structured tale, other than to say that a series of coincidences – both hilarious and dramatic – memorably brings together a group of lost souls in a manner reminiscent of claude berri’s wonderful hunting and gathering .

perfectly delightful movie of the 1930s golden age of musicals from the
hollywood dream factory
. totally improbable, practically laughable, mindlessly romantic plot, along with pretty weak acting - but who cares! with all that stunning dancing by the beautiful
goddess of dance
, eleanor powell, and all that magnificent singing of the
stout - hearted
man of song, nelson eddy! !! take a break from real life! !! for 120 minutes, forget your cares, along with any need for realism, plausibility, or worldly problems, and simply enjoy this pure and delicious musical extravaganza from a bygone era of indulgent escapism .
nobody, but nobody, could tap dance like eleanor powell. fred astaire said that he could barely keep up with her .
fun movie, great back and forth between a few
wizard of oz
actors. the plot is very similar to
the student prince
, but in a musical who cares .
even eddy is tolerable. eleanor powell is as usual magnificent. a very lively and fun piece of enjoyable work !

this is a directory page. britannica does not currently have an article on this topic .
the only reason this gets three and a half stars are for the songs, the jaw - dropping musical routines, and the lead stars nelson eddy and eleanor powell .
it' s such a pity eleanor powell, who was one of the screen' s best dancers, gave up her career on her marriage to glenn ford, as she was a sunny personality with the longest legs in musicals (ok, until ann miller came along !) .
a jaw - droppingly opulent mgm musical - from the dream factory at the peak of its powers - boasting nelson eddy' s vocals, eleanor powell' s dancing and a clutch of new cole porter songs .
and for three - quarters of an hour, it' s utterly charming - as soldier and football hero eddy romances incognito princess powell - then it falls off a cliff, consisting of little but gloomy back - biting and bloody awful comedy from ray bolger and the usually reliable frank morgan. it tanked at the box office and helped put pay to powell' s hopes of being a leading lady - a shame when you see how well she handles the battle - of - the - sexes stuff early on .
eleanor powell' s feet and cole porter' s songs struggle valiantly but vainly against an insipid plot, an insufferable nelson eddy, and frank morgan' s unsettling obsession with a ventriloquist dummy .
nelson eddy with another woman then jeanette macdonald feels like cheating. even if it is eleanor powell he' s flying over the ocean to court. a singing romance lasting over two hours. way too long for such a limited plot as a princess and a cadet pilot falling in love .
the comedy really needed trimming. most of it didn' t work. this was the first big role for stage performer ray bolger, you know the scarecrow in wizard of oz (1939). he was supposed to be the comic relief to the serious leading guy, but most of bolger' s comedy missed its mark. just about the only one i laughed at was king frank morgan talking to his hand - puppet. he was on form…

vincent machot habite une petite ville de province. sa vie partagée entre son salon de coiffure, sa mère possessive et les obsessions sexuelles de son cousin laurent, lui semble de plus en plus morne… un dimanche, après avoir enfourché son vélo à la recherche d’une supérette ouverte, il éprouve un sentiment étrange de déjà - vu lorsqu’il croise le regard de l’épicière. où l’a - t - il déjà rencontrée? irrésistiblement, vincent se met à suivre cette femme à travers la ville…
it would be hard to imagine a stalker any less threatening than vincent machot (kyan khojandi), the shy, prematurely balding hairdresser at the centre of this whimsical french comedy .
when his manipulative, domineering mother (anemone), who lives in an apartment on the floor immediately above him, guilts vincent into procuring her crab and lemon for dinner, he winds up cycling to a new neighbourhood in search of a store that is still open .
but although he feels certain he has met her before, blum assures her accidental customer that he is mistaken .
the chance encounter and surrounding mystery begins to haunts vincent to the point of obsession and he starts to follow the lonely middle - aged woman — from her shop to her house, the cinema, choir practice and even a bar .
one gets the sense, as vincent enthuses over his first japanese movie, that tailing blum has introduced him to a richer world than the one he has previously inhabited .
curious rather than frightened by his attention, she enlists the help of the lovely aude (alice isaaz), who is also something of a lost soul .
part three, told from blum’s perspective, fills in many of the dots (although the connection between blum and vincent is revealed only in the final shot. )
in a remarkably assured directorial debut, julien rappeneau draws nuanced performances from each of his key cast members .
and the elliptical narrative structure keeps audiences guessing for much longer than one might expect .
