Guy, an auto mechanic, has fallen in love with Geneviève, an employee in her widowed mother’s chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the evening before Guy is to leave for a tour of combat in Algeria, the two share a passionate night, resulting in Geneviève’s pregnancy. She must choose between waiting for Guy’s return or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.
Described by Jacques Demy as “a film in song”, the visually intoxicating The Umbrellas of Cherbourg pays homage to the Hollywood musical and is a major influence on directors including Damien Chazelle and Wes Anderson.

The chorus swells and aches with dignified pain, the strings burst in like a circus pipe-organ...all hailing the chaos of young love.
A beautiful film with a score that's Michel Legrand's finest work. In circa 2004 I had become slightly obsessed with it so showed it to my three boys when they were aged 4, 8 and 10 in the bleak rented maisonette I'd just moved into in St Albans, although few things with both 'St Albans' and 'Maisonette' in the title are really that bleak, it was more the post-divorceness about it all that was bleak. Digressing. Anyway, it went down well, with the older two well-engaged. How could anyone not be? However, the youngest fell sound asleep just after the halfway point. He stayed asleep too, so we decided the ideal follow up to Umbrellas of Cherbourg was, obviously, Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic horror 28 Days Later. This went down just as well and the 4 year old obligingly stayed recumbent throughout, until about 60 seconds before the end. Consequently, he is now 19 and to this day remains convinced and will broker no argument on the matter that Umbrellas of Cherbourg ends with a Jet Fighter flying overhead and rescuing everyone.
This is the best story I've read all year.
On the bright side that's a happier ending 🙂👍
Weepingly funny!
lol! Thank you for this!
The greatest gift French cinema has ever given me.
Pretty.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Quite possibly one of the most beautiful films ever made or that I have had the privilege of seeing in my lifetime.
The creators of this movie were able to skillfully present a typical story of love and loss while weaving in the obvious technical and seductive artistic elements of color, music, and beautiful people and not even trying to be subtle about it as many movie makers do. These elements like color, camera angles, scenery, and these young people are flagrantly put out there for all to see and we aren't distracted, turned-off, or bored by them. The ARE the elements of day-to-day life and also another factor in what makes what would be just "one more" tragic love story special and able to maintain a hold on our psyches for over 50 years.
I'm just into the story and don't notice all these things but i feel a pang in my heart because is there still a thing called love?
This haunting sublime cinematic creation, another strong contender for the most beautiful color movie ever made, happiness summer rainbows laced with sadness winter snow, ravishing hypnotic unforgettable.
The greatest musical film ever made
South Pacific
This is truly one of the greatest films ever made.
I cry every time I watch it
One of my all-time favorites.
I love this film with my whole heart I lost three close family and two lifelong friends to covid since 2020 life is for living to the absolute fullest 💔
😢
A masterpiece.
That's one lovely musical.
Catherine was pregnant when this movie was made. The last scene attempts to hide that, as well as other parts of the movie.
I was dating a French girl who turned me on to this movie. Immediately became one of my favorites. Made the ending that much more beautifully heartbreaking after we had to break up.
the quality of the music is superb, the best I've heard. any idea where from? was there a new reissue with remastered soundtrack?
more French than a baguette up the Eifel tower, & i mean that as a compliment
This movie has the greatest musical theme that I can never remember.
Just Beautiful
Lovely film
Cinematic Romance
The French and the USA certainly know how to make great films over the last hundred years shows a real love of the medium.

LA LA LAND before it was cool
Madeline is the heroine.
I saw this for the first time today on blu ray, a wonderful film and wished it went on a bit longer. I'm not even into romantic films. Unlike most people I find the blockbusters like Barbie, Top Gun, and superhero films totally boring. Before I saw the film I recommended it to an elderly French gentleman who had heard of the actors but not this film.
Perhaps if one of them shed a tear at the end after meeting at the gas station would have made the film slightly better.
Wonderful movie. Terrible trailer.
Cheesy I guess 🙄
It's not "cheesy" at all...if you like true cinema...
I just don't get it. I was bored out of my mind when I first watched this 20 years ago. My boyfriend was full of what a masterpiece it is...but...YAWN! I know it's visually arresting but that's all!
Exactly what is it that you don't "get"?
@@slydoll7877 From my perspective, it's very easy to understand why someone wouldn't like this movie: it has a very simple plot, no super elaborate story elements or musical numbers and a story we've seen a million times. I personally love it because I fell in love with the characters and that's in large part due to the writing and the music. On top of that, the visually arresting imagery propels what we're already feeling to another level and the whole film feels like a dark fairytale in many ways. There's so much overwhelming emotion in this film and I was along for the ride the whole way through. But if you can't connect with it emotionally, then I'm sure it falls flat. Just my two cents
Than is just not for you
Like theme park movies are not for me
Everybody has their preference!
@@RyanKhanna to be fair most musicals are like what you described.
@@ep6927 you're not wrong, but I think for this movie specifically, what I said is especially true. Like for instance, take La La Land which is very similar in many ways to this film. It doesn't deliver the same emotions as this film and while it mimics many of the same elements, it's not quite on this level. Everything just works so well togethe because of how strong its individual elements are. A perfect musical if there ever was one
From the perspective of an 80s born Disney lover: It's CinéMagique all over again 🥲
