The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964) - Oct. 24, 2006
An interesting musical about a young couple in love. It was quite different from the usual musical in that there wasn't a single spoken line of dialogue -- everything is sung (though there aren't really any songs in the movie, more like sung dialogue). It sounds strange, but it actually does work. Featuring some very colourful direction from Jaques Demy, and good performances all around. ***
