Celine and Julie Go boating Customer Review: Just get carried away
The only way to enjoy ‘Celine et Julie vont en bateau’ is to surrender yourself to it. By doing so, you’ll be carried back to a very French seventies-set, dealing with two young women. They are somehow involved with a nasty thing that once happened to a young girl - the borderlines between past and present aren’t clear. Maybe this young girl is one of the women themselves.

The plot isn’t the most important feature, though. What makes this movie work is its undefinable sequence of events. Their hidden logic keeps you watching its entire 192 minutes. The spontaneous, normal-life acting of the two female leads adds to the slight mystery. Director Jacques Rivette allowed Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier a free hand in filling in their roles.

My copy from the British Film Institute (BFI) provides another clue: American film-director Susan Seidelman freely admits Jacques Rivette’s ‘boating’ was the main inspiration for her ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ (1985). Starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.
