StudioCanal have released a trailer for director Jacques Demy's legendary film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), starring Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo, Marc Michel, and Anne Vernon. Described by director Demy as 'a film in song', the visually intoxicating The Umbrellas of Cherbourg pays homage to the Hollywood musical in this masterpiece of French New Wave cinema.
The entire digitization and restoration of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was produced by Cine-Tamaris, with the support of the Cannes Film Festival.
Synopsis: A story of lost love, with all the dialogue sung rather than spoken. In the French seaside town of Cherbourg, Genevieve (Catherine Deneuve, in her first screen role) discovers that she is pregnant by her boyfriend, Guy (Nino Castelnuovo). When Guy is drafted into the army, Genevieve marries diamond merchant Roland Cassard (Marc Michel), even though she still loves Guy. She is destined for one last encounter with her true love, in a frosty Esso gas station.
Note: In the United Kingdom, the film will be released on Blu-ray on February 10th. You can see our listing and review of this upcoming release here.
