The Umbrellas of Cherbourg | Year: 1964 Classification: Foreign Film - French Directed: - Jacques Demy Actors/Actresses: - Catherine Deneuve - Nino Castelnuovo - Anne Vernon Life goes on Subtle yet emotionally wrenching "movie in song" in glorious color about two young lovers torn apart by the Algerian War. Gorgeous Catherine Deneuve is breathtakingly luminous as the romantic yet mature seventeen-year old Genevieve Emery, who finds herself unmarried and pregnant after her lover has departed for the war. Handsome Nino Castelnuovo (who resembles a young Louis Jourdan) stars as Guy Foucher, a garage mechanic of humble means who is equally in love with Genevieve. Tells the simple yet effectively poignant tale in three parts as in an operetta--the separation, departure, and reunion, with such a great deal of emotional depth experienced by the characters that we are totally engulfed in their story. The supporting cast is wonderful as well, with Anne Vernon as Genevieve's mother, a realistic woman who only wants the best for her child; Marc Michel as Genevieve's wealthy and kind suitor who is obsessively lovestruck and marries her despite the fact she is carrying another man's child; and lovely Ellen Farner as Guy's friend who eventually becomes his wife, a gentle yet strong young woman who consoles an understandably bitter and disillusioned Guy when he comes back from the war to find his beloved guardian dying and Genevieve married and raising his child with another man. This movie is more than just a heartbreaking tale about two lover eview> Buy The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
