The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) 4K Restoration

"Charm may be in the eye of the beholder, but if you don’t find this movie irresistible, you should get your eyesight checked."
- The Ringer

An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s delicate 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.

This film was restored in 4K by Ciné-Tamaris, with support from the CNC, Chanel, and SACEM, by Éclair Classics and LE Diapason laboratories in Paris, under the supervision of Rosalie Varda and Mathieu Demy.
