Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The
France 1964, 91 minutes
Dir. Jacques Demy
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Classics / Musical, Romance
Topics: Nouvelle Vague.
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
4 stars (Very Good) We never tire of this sumptuous, heartbreaking movie with the lovely Denueve ~Anon
5 stars (Exceptional) An adorable movie, must see. ~Princessgoldenhorse
5 stars (Exceptional) Once acclimatised to dialogue sung as recitative I loved it - the bright, pop surface with the sadness underneath. And the scene in the gas station at the end... ~HiFi
0 star (Not rated) A light movie, but also lightly subversive. Every word is sung and the dresses match the wallpaper. ~Anon
3 stars (Good Enough) The colours are heavy but beautifully shot as are the wet street locations. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Absolutely agree. I was blown away seeing it in the 1980s. Now I must see The Young Girls of Rochefort, which is also held by Arovideo. ~EdMorbius
