Directed by: Jacques Demy
The angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s delicate daughter, glowing with first love for a handsome garage mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors, and told entirely through lilting songs by the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.

Release Notes on Restoration
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Undertaken by Cine-Tamaris in 2024, with the support of the CNC, Chanel, and SACEM, this new 4K restoration was created from the 35 mm original camera negative. The 5.0 surround soundtrack was created using a three-track mix from the 1963 half-inch magnetic tapes, found in the archives at Universal Music Publishing.
