I was in a Japanese themed bar in New Orleans on vacation & Umbrellas Of Cherbourg was being projected onto the wall as wallpaper so I can confirm that the hipster paradigm is real :D 0:39
It’s not just Deneuve who is beautiful, so is Nino Castelnuovo, Anne Vernon and Marc Michel, they’re all exceptionally attractive, and with the art direction and sumptuous photography it’s like a fairy tale. What no one ever seems to talk about is that no one in the film actually sings their own part. That’s one helluva decision to make in a film where every single word is sung, but the dubbing and voice matching are perfect, adding to the other worldliness of the movie.
Ellen Farner, who played Madeleine, is gorgeous as well. But I saw this with an ex-girlfriend who said that if you're a woman, it's a good idea not to be in a movie with a 19-20 year old Catherine Deneuve.
You bring up an interesting point about the dubbing adds a sense of otherworldliness to the film - I really need to rewatch this now to see if I spot it more!
When I was in junior high back in 2002, the first girl I dated passed away from a car accident, so when I watched the departure scene for the first time I actually ugly cried. Even now when I hear it I just turn from the screen and aggressively fight back tears. Beautifully difficult to hear, right next to the theme for “Schindler’s List”.
I wish I had appreciated this film 10 years ago as much as I do now. I am so happy that I now own it, and I am forever grateful that Criterion did a fantastic job restoring this film. My goodness, what a film!!
Holy crap! Had no idea Patton was such an "old film" nerd.(thought it was just comic books and scifi). Sure hit the nail on the head with this one. This movie looks like a candy store and Deneuve is almost robotic perfection in every frame.
@@krigsfulit’s a great read. i came across it when i thought it was odd patton oswald was cast for mst3k because i didn’t know he was a movie guy. now i know he’s the equivelant of that guy you meet in college who you never really hear talk about sports and when he opens his mouth on the topic he says some of the most lucid, accurate things you’ve heard but not thought.
Not many folks remember the true tenor of the early 60s distinct from the 50s. It all happened so quickly. It was a bit world weary highly educated and literate. A funny mix of the new promise of the Space Age but keenly awear of the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. Then there was the Jet Set replete with artists composers film directors and well heeled refugees from the ruins of European Aristocracy all understanding that Jazz was where it's really at. And perhaps Western Civilization was at it's Apex headed for a slow decline .
I always want to share this video to convince friends to see the movie, but can't because it gives away too much of the story. Wish they would have cut out the pregnancy exchange, etc.
The train departure scene will never fail to make me tear up. So gorgeous.
I watched it for the first time last night and that shot gave me full-body chills

@@tomshea8382 I thought Madeleine was HOT. But yeah, Catherine Deneuve…
@@leoray1234 A cinematic absolute. Inarguable.
Remy has the finest taste.

I was gonna say this guy sounds like that mouse in that cooking movie.

I could spend the rest of my life watching Patton Oswalt talk about movies

Catherine Deneuve's mother in the movie says she's not much to look at as well, peak comedy.
Holy crap!

Check out his book called Silver Screen Fiend for more Patton on movies.
Mejo Owen Benjamin is both an idiot, and human garbage.

Well I never expected Patton Oswalt to be a fan of this film. Btw I love it. This and the Young Girls of Rochefort are great.
i saw this film at an arthouse theater a few years ago 15 minutes from where i live and man, what a film.
She's angelic really, otherworldly in her beauty🌷
Y’all just uploaded 3 vids of Patton Oswalt introductions back to back. Please tell me he’s getting a Closet Picks vid.
Using this as my introduction right before I watch Umbrellas of Cherbourg for the first time
Kinda like how Turner Classic Movies would do before the film starts.
What did you think?
Deneuve is lovely, indeed. Nino Castelnuovo isn't hard on the eyes either.....
He and guy carry the movie.
An exquisite film
Pat ain’t wrong about Catherine Denueve
This movie is a sweet treat for the eyes (Catherine Deneuve) and ears (Legrand). Yum Yum YUM
patton has good taste

Can we just get these two to talk about every movie in the collection?
I have to admit I never knew how much I wanted this until I read it.
Patton Oswalt's impeccable taste and analytic skills never cease to astound.
I love this movie
We love the same film!!! J'aime beaucoup le film! ❤️
Great film!!
This was what La la land desperately tried to be
Never seen that movie
And succeeded
Well, Umbrellas of Cherbourg is Damien Chazelle's favorite movie of all time
@@highwind1991 indeed
La La Land is a love letter to Demy, lol. Of course it’s trying to be this!
Great taste in movies he has.
Nice
He is so intelligent.
watched this in French class 1977
