Jacques Demy’s enchanting and bittersweet musical continues to captivate our hearts after 60 years. Featuring a luminous Catherine Deneuve in her breakthrough role to international audiences, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a fully sung operetta that tells the story of Geneviève, a young woman who falls deeply in love with Guy, a handsome auto mechanic. When Guy is drafted to fight in the Algerian War, the lovers are forced apart, leading to heart-wrenching decisions and the passage of time that tests their devotion. With its vibrant candy-colored palette, exquisite set design, and an unforgettable score by Michel Legrand, the film is a fairytale-like exploration of love, loss, and the choices that define our lives. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival. Subtitles.
