Every line in Jacques Demy's 1964 romance is sung, and it uses that device to turn an ordinary wartime separation into something close to opera.

What is The Umbrellas of Cherbourg about?

Geneviève and Guy are in love in the port town of Cherbourg when Guy is called up for military service and sent away. Left behind, Geneviève discovers she is pregnant, and with Guy's return uncertain, she agrees to marry a diamond merchant named Roland who offers her and her family stability. The film follows the practical, unromantic choice she makes under pressure rather than the choice a love story usually rewards, and lets the consequences of that decision play out years later rather than resolving them quickly. Its entirely sung dialogue keeps even the most mundane exchanges — errands, arguments, goodbyes at a train station — pitched at an emotional register other films reserve for their biggest scenes.

About the cast

Catherine Deneuve stars as Geneviève opposite Nino Castelnuovo as Guy, with Anne Vernon, Mireille Perrey, Marc Michel, Ellen Farner, Jean Champion, and Pierre Caden rounding out the cast around them.

Context & significance

A French production directed by Jacques Demy and released in 1964, the film runs a lean 91 minutes and sits across drama, musical, and romance, a combination its through-sung format makes literal rather than just marketing language. Its saturated color design and wallpaper-matched costumes were as deliberate a choice as the music, built to make an unglamorous, wartime story of separation and compromise look like a fairy tale from the outside while playing out something more sober underneath.
