Movie Reviews of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Movie Review: Quite possibly the greatest movie ever made.....
Summary: 5 Stars

Each time I see this film, I am amazed at its brilliance. The pacing of the film in coordination with the music (and lyrics) is simply astounding. Also, given when the film was made I am still perplexed by the
cinematography of this masterpiece. There are shots which I can't quite figure out how they were achieved....especially ones where there are mirrors in the scenes. Quite possibly the greatest movie ever made, certainly the greatest " musical " movie ever made. I am impressed and moved each time I see it.

Summary of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Studio: Koch International Release Date: 04/06/2004 Run time: 92 minutes

Jacques Demy's haunting romantic musical is an enchanting, one-of-a-kind musical experience. It's basically a movie operetta, in which the characters sing all the dialogue (or, rather, lyrics--by director Demy) to Michel Legrand's lovely score. The story spans five years (1957-1962) in the life of Genevi?ve (the ethereally beautiful Catherine Deneuve in the role that launched her to international stardom), the teenage daughter of a woman who owns a Cherbourg umbrella shop. After Genevi?ve's boyfriend Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) is drafted and sent off to Algeria, she discovers she's pregnant ... and complications ensue. With its dazzling candy-colored palette, Umbrellas of Cherbourg looks sweet and dreamy. Restored and rereleased in 1995 to rapturous acclaim and the renewed delight of all who got the chance to see it. The video release is taken from the restored version. --Jim Emerson
