The music is lovely, Catherine Deneuve is beautiful and the story will tear you apart.
The word "Masterpiece" is thrown about often in the worlds of film and music but in this case this is the real thing. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of those rare instances where everything came together in a film in a serendipitous way that would never be duplicated. Not only that, but made by two up and coming young men who had only done two films before with a cast of mostly unknowns. Then, to top it all off, it would not just be a musical, but a film sung completely through like opera, something completely unique and untried. Try selling a concept like that to one of today's studios. Fortunately the early sixties was a much looser time with many movie studios and open minds willing to try new things.
The director was Jacques Demy, whose first film, Lola (1961) included music but was shot in the more usual black and white. His co-creator was Michel Legrand, already known as a jazz pianist who had had hit albums and even toured America. The music would be light,, but not operetta; it would be updated to include strong influences of chanson, pop and jazz with a little Baroque counterpoint thrown in (Legrand had been classically trained). This time the film would be shot in super-saturated color with sets painted vibrant, almost expressionist colors. And it all would center around a young and virtually unknown Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo as Genevieve and Guy, the very personification of young love in a rainy Spring.
The resulting film is completely transporting. The story is very old, the treatment very new and the end result is something to be experienced. The singing somehow seems completely natural, more natural in a way, than films with spoken dialogue that break into songs from time to time. Here in a world of continuous music, love has turned everything into a dizzily colored poem that peaks when Guy is to be sent away to fight in the war in Algeria. Fate takes a big hand in the consequences creating unforseen results. The supporting cast are as good as the principals, with Anne Vernon (Madame Emery) the veteran of many films and Marc Michel (Roland Cassard) coming in having played the same character in Lola, a signature quirk of the director. The music produced two early sixties hits, I Will Wait For You and Watch What Happens. Mr. Legrand's familiarity with the worlds of pop and jazz kept everything fresh-sounding and up to date. You also note subtle touches like the opening jazzy music set in 1957 is very brassy and big band sounding while in the 1963 final scene it's the cool jazz of that time. The colors are so captivatingly brilliant that when establishing shots of the actual Cherbourg are shown it seems like another world.
If you like romances, this is one of the classics. If you are open to musicals you will have no trouble with the fact that the entire film is sung. This is a most memorable and worthy film.

My favorite movie musical
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964, Jacques Demy, Director) is a very straightforward love story that’s fairly predictable, but that doesn’t take away from its absorbing allure. In fact, I love this film so much that I’m willing to overlook some of the minor flaws in the blu ray transfer from Criterion. This transfer is somewhat grainy/hazy in picture quality, and the sound isn’t exactly clear; in fact, it can be slightly muffled at times. However, I’m not going to dwell on these few minor imperfections. Now, for the heart of the review: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is so unique in that all of the dialogue is sung. This is definitely an acquired taste, but about 15-20 minutes in, I was used to it and all-in. The next thing that becomes obvious is its rich color; it’s sort of pastel-like, with some backgrounds that are quite striking. Finally, the last thing that jumps out is the continuous upbeat music in the film, with the exception of the main theme, which is an emotionally-charged melancholy number by Michel Legrand that is the heartbeat of the film. This film is really a heartfelt love story where fate is the prevailing narrative and force. It’s a film about important decisions and their outcomes. Along the way, there are familial issues, death, rebuilding with emotional crutches, and some humor injected at just the right times. Some of the dialogue is cliched, but I guess that’s par for the course in a love story? Finally, while watching this film, I could definitely see where the 2016 film, La La Land took so much inspiration from, especially the ending sequence and the upbeat musical numbers. Overall, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a masterpiece of a film that’s essential to your blu ray collection. The Criterion Collection usually does a stellar job with resorting older films, but for some reason this isn’t their best work. I was expecting better quality. The blu ray also contains some nice special features.

Gorgeous Legrand music in a superb film
One of the lovliest films ever made! It's a "jazz opera" with superb Michel Legrand music and more. And the finale will melt the hearts of any "family" person who experiences it.

Excellent disc and movie
This is one of the great films of the last century. If you haven’t seen it, buying this expensive blu ray is still a bargain. Love Criterion’s high quality publication and bonus materials!
