Title: A Five Cry Classic
Review: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a classic of world cinema which shows the bold style of film maker Jacques Demy. Demy has all the dialogue sung to the pounding emotional score of Michel Legrand. Catherine Deneuve is etherial in one of her first leading roles and the role which really brought her to international attention.As a different twist on the French New Wave movement, Umbrellas will tear your heart out as any man or woman who has known the bitter twists of unhappy love can attest.The restoration of the film ranks up their with the work done to restore Vertigo or Lawrence of Arabia. The only fault on this DVD is a somewhat flaky menu system. Otherwise, it is a job well done.Get out your hanky and watch this film !
