Feat. Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo

“A Surprisingly effective film, touching and knowing and, like Deneuve, ageless”~Roger Ebert

Aroview: Gorgeous French musical with Catherine Deneuve, in her acting debut, one of its many pleasures. A bittersweet romantic story is allied to a lush Michel Legrand score and impossibly hued production design - it simply oozes flair from every sprocket. Fully restored version with dolby stereo soundtrack. Tres magnificent!

5 stars (Exceptional) Jacques Demy's masterpiece, making Deneuve a star. It will swell then break your heart, and yes, it does contain umbrellas. ~The Myrka
