Product Information
Catherine Deneuve stars in Jacques Demy's THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, an astonishing musical love story in which every word is sung to a score by Michel Legrand. Glorious colour, breathtaking choreography and a heartbreaking plot combine to create a completely unique musical unlike no other. The story of star crossed lovers is situated in an urban seaside as Genevieve (Deneuve), a sweet sixteen year old ingenue who works with her mother in an umbrella shop, falls desperately in love with Guy, a local mechanic. Fate intervenes when Genevieve becomes pregnant and Guy is drafted, as their love is pitted against time and fate.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThe Guardian UK - ...two of the most enchanting young leads ever captured on celluloid.
Additional InformationJacques Demy's 1964 masterpiece is a pop-art opera, or, to borrow the director's own description, a film in song. This simple romantic tragedy begins in 1957. Guy Foucher (Nino Castelnuovo), a 20-year-old French auto mechanic, has fallen in love with 17-year-old Genevieve Emery (a luminous Catherine Deneuve), an employee in her widowed mother's chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the evening before Guy is to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Genevieve make love. She becomes pregnant and must choose between waiting for Guy's return or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.
