Description

BARBIE BOOT CAMP: THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG

"If you don't find this movie irresistible, you should get your eyesight checked."—Adam Nayman, The Ringer

"Continues to charm and delight for the same reasons it did in 1964."—Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Something rare: a film which gives the impression of having been made with joy."—Dilys Powell, Sunday Times UK

An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s delicate daughter, glowing with first love for a handsome garage mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors, and told entirely through the lilting songs of the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.
