Celine and Julie Go Boating (French: Céline et Julie vont en bateau) is a 1974 French film directed by Jacques Rivette.

Celine and Julie Go Boating is a hypnotic, circular film, which starts slowly with the meeting of Julie (Dominique Labourier), a shy librarian, and Céline (Juliet Berto), a nightclub cabaret artiste, in a library reading room; and ends in a madcap murder mystery involving bloody handprints, time travel, apparitions and magic sweets. The film is best known for its playful opening scenes of Julie chasing Céline around Paris; its Lewis Carroll and Henry James references (particularly Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and James' stories 'The Other House' and 'The Romance of Certain Old Clothes'); and the odd device of the magic sweets. Some viewers have seen in the latter a reference to LSD, although Rivette has denied this.
