THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG: 4K RESTORATION

December 19, 22 & 27, 2024
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
New 4K Restoration
The iconic Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s 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.
Dir: Jacques Demy / 1964 / French with English subtitles / 92 min
