Movie Reviews of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Movie Review: French Cinema at its Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite foreign film of all time. The dialog is entirely sung in French, the music is captivating, the set design is breathtaking, and the acting is brilliant. Catherine Deneuve never looked so young, beautiful, and innocent as she appears in this movie. The movie's ending gives the viewer an unexpected but sometimes so true dose of reality. This is my favorite foreign film of all time. I love it!!!
Summary of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
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 EmersonArt House & International DVD Video
