The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (Special Edition) DVD | Movie Mail UK

Film Description

A glorious feast of colour in the tradition of the MGM musical with every scene colour-coordinated down to the costumes matching the wallpaper. The score, composed by Michel Legrand, is glorious and every line in the bittersweet film is sung. Deneuve, in one of her first screen roles, is simply lovely and the film is one of the most visually arresting ever made. Winner of the Palme d'Or in 1964.
