Review of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) by Torry B — 26 Jun 2012
The visual aspect of the film is simply a delight, while Demy's camera floats through brilliantly staged scenes populated only with characters singing their dialogue. Underneath the charm, however, stands a recognition of continued class difference, one that exists through the film from beginning to end.
This adds a note of social significance, making the tragedy of lost love that much more poignant.
