The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Criterion Collection)

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.

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant French musical film directed by Jacques Demy, now available in high-definition Blu-ray format from the esteemed Criterion Collection. This 1964 classic tells the poignant love story between Geneviève, played by Catherine Deneuve, and Guy, portrayed by Nino Castelnuovo, set against the backdrop of a rainy port town in Normandy. The entire dialogue is sung to Michel Legrand's unforgettable score, which won international acclaim for its melodic beauty. Criterion?s release features an immaculate restoration with vibrant colors that honor Demy's original vision. Criterion is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films with meticulous restorations and insightful bonus content. Their releases are celebrated among cinephiles worldwide for their quality and attention to detail. Catherine Deneuve became an icon through her role as Geneviève; she later starred in acclaimed films such as "Belle de Jour," "The Young Girls of Rochefort," and worked with legendary directors like Luis Buñuel and François Truffaut. Director Jacques Demy was a leading figure of the French New Wave whose other notable works include "Lola" and "Donkey Skin." Composer Michel Legrand received three Academy Awards during his illustrious career for scores including ?Yentl? and ?The Thomas Crown Affair.? Together with supporting actors Anne Vernon (noted for her work in both French cinema classics), they created one of cinema?s most enduring musicals.
