The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.


The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Les Parapluies de Cherbourg).

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (original title: Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) is a musical film made in 1964.

It was directed by Jacques Demy, and stars Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo. The music was written by Michel Legrand.

The film dialogue is all sung as recitative, even the most casual conversation.

Umbrellas is the middle film in an informal 'romantic trilogy' of Demy films that share some of the same actors, characters and overall look; it comes after Lola (1961) and before The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)."

visst är det en fin film! (som jag gärna sett på en bioduk också) kändes som att klippet gav en ganska bra summering av känslan av filmen; om det nu går att göra det på bara ett par min...
