This breathtaking 4K restoration brings Demy’s explosion of colour, romance and music back to the big screen in all its radiant glory—a timeless cinematic masterpiece that simply demands to be experienced in a cinema. Young Geneviève helps her mother run a small umbrella boutique in Cherbourg and is deeply in love with Guy, a young mechanic. Their future together seems certain—until Guy is drafted to fight in the Algerian War. During his absence, circumstances force Geneviève to make a life-changing decision. When Guy finally returns, time has changed everything.
With The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Jacques Demy created one of the most beloved musicals in cinema history. Every line of dialogue is sung to Michel Legrand’s unforgettable score, creating a fully sung-through musical that is as emotionally devastating as it is visually dazzling. Catherine Deneuve became an international star with her luminous performance, while the film won the Palme d’Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival and went on to receive five Academy Award nominations, including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Score.
