I watched this beautiful film last night and fell in love again.  So gorgeous, so unforgettable.  Catherine Deneuve as Genevieve and Nino Castelnuovo as Guy are just the perfect star-crossed young lovers.  You totally believe their story, even though it is all intense colors, music and seemingly light conversations.  Thank you, Jacues Demy, and Michel Lagrand, and all the actors and everyone who worked on this film.  American film makers could learn a lot from you.  Also, designers - why can't our world look like this??  Where do they get that wallpaper and paint?  Wow!! It makes life so much better even though life is not always so perfect and yes, very sad too often.  If it hadn't been for that war, Guy and Geneveieve might have made it.  War - what is it good for?  Absolutely nothing.  Not for the everyday people, that's for sure.
