Review of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) by Michael D — 28 May 2009
A rarity - a true 'realist' musical. A hard and honest film about love in a tough universe this film has some of the most visually gorgeous sequences ever put on film. From the brilliant opening credits of the waltzing umbrellas in the rain (see my video clips) to the closing scene outside Guy's gas station in the snow, I find nothing less than exceptional beauty in every frame.
And of course seeing as its a musical - the score is amazing too. My favourite film at this moment.
