1 his story about both hrst love and adult love fully honors both. Jacques Demy, writer and director, uses his genius with the camera to follow the flux of characters who burst with ardor. The songs by Michel Legrand became international hits and won an Academy Award for his unforgettable score.

Despite its legendary status as one of the great French classics, this film had long been unseen in this country. By the mid-1970 s all prints were badly faded, and the negative damaged beyond repair. This re-release, with new prints made from a recently discovered tri-color negative (under the supervision of Demy's widow, filmmaker Agnes Varda), restores "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" to its former glory.

Roger Ebert gave this award winning movie "Two big thumbs up!" and he added, "If you don’t have a theatre in your town playing it.build one!" (90 minutes, in French with English subtitles, no rating available)
