Told entirely through song, the film follows two young lovers separated by war and changing circumstances in the coastal town of Cherbourg. The film won the Palme dOr at the Cannes Film Festival and became one of the defining works of French cinema in the 1960s. Combining vibrant visual design with emotional storytelling and music by Michel Legrand, it remains one of the most influential movie musicals ever made.

The angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owners 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 lilting songs by the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.
