Tres bon

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Neil bought me this movie a few years ago. It is charming and romantic and heartbreaking. And every word is sung. This might scare many people away, but it shouldn't. It's not Broadway show-stopping musical numbers, just words put to lovely music.

Recently remastered in breathtaking color.
Made by the renowned Jacques Demy.
French with subtitles.

This film makes me wish I owned an umbrella shop.


Oh, and I also wish I looked like Catherine Deneuve.
