Movie Reviews of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg [Korean Import]
Movie Review: A Marvelous Film - Storyline updated from the Fanny Triology
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a masterfully crafted "modern musical opera". I believe I read somewhere it was the first where the lines between the songs were sung rather than spoken. It is about young impetuous love that goes awry just before the lovers are parted for a few years. The ensuing pregnancy makes for heartrending choices. It is superbly acted. A must for French language hobbyists as well. The musical score by Michel Legrand is gorgeous and has been a favorite of mine. He also did the haunting score for "Wuthering Heights", 1970 with the incredible Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff.
The movie "Fanny" 1962? with Leslie Caron and Maurice Chevalier is a heartwarming, enchanting look at the same basic storyline set in an earlier time period. It is not a musical.
I am so glad to find it on dvd at last. I knew the VHS my mother taped off TCM would not last forever.
Summary of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg [Korean Import]
- Import from Korea - French language - Subtitles in English and Korean are optional - NTSC All Regions - Geneviève, 17, lives with her widowed mother, who owns an umbrella shop in Cherbourg. She and Guy, a twenty-year-old auto mechanic, are secretly in love and want to marry, but when she reveals this to her mother, her mother objects on the grounds that Geneviève is too young and Guy is not mature or well-established enough, particularly since he has not yet done his required military service. Shortly after this, Guy is drafted to serve in the war in Algeria. Before he leaves, he and Geneviève consummate their love for each other, which results in her becoming pregnant. While Guy is away they drift apart, and Geneviève, strongly encouraged by her mother, accepts a marriage proposal from a well-to-do gem dealer named Roland Cassard, who has fallen in love with her at first sight and has promised to bring up her child as his own.Similar DVD Movies
