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.

“A glorious romantic confection unlike any other in movie history.” – The Washington Post

“Elevates the quotidian to the spectacular…UMBRELLAS’ palette of sherbet-colored pastels remains undimmed.” – Melissa Anderson, Village Voice

“Demy’s MASTERPIECE!” – Mike D’Angelo, A.V. Club

French Film Festival sponsored by the Center for French and Francophone Studies and made possible by the Albertine Cinemathèque, a program of FACE Foundation and Villa Albertine; Office of the Dean of Arts & Sciences, Romance Studies, Art, Art History & Visual Studies, and Duke Cinematic Arts.
