I just rewatched Umbrellas of Cherbourg and-

Virtue and Moir really started their senior careers at 18 and 20 skating to those songs and ended up estranged old friends with completely separate lives, him a small town elite coach and her a city loving influencer...

Life imitates art, doomed from the beginning, etc.

I watched The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (1964)

A French New Wave musical, recommended by Director Greta Gerwig.

A young couple in love must face life without each other when the young man goes to war and the young woman discovers she is pregnant.

Director Jacques Demy's "The Umbrella's of Cherbourg" is more than your typical musical. Each line of dialogue is sung, every moment is musical. At one point, at the very beginning, Demy has one of his characters complain about Opera, stating his dislike comes from too much singing. Then, the character mentions that he much prefers movies. At this moment Demy is stating, with some on-the-nose humor, that he has blended an Opera with a Film. And, he's done so with amazing success.

The music and tone of the film are peppy, even when melancholy and dramatic. The lyrical conversations are always full of life and energy. Consistently engaging, each scene draws you in. The look of the film follows suit. The colors are vibrant and varied and dazzling. Everything in this film, including lead actress Catherine Deneuve, are the height of what it is to be pretty. Looking away from the screen, even for a moment, feels almost like an insult.

Juxtaposed with it's energy, the film presents a story that is deep, and human. A story of a war-torn couple who are bound by circumstance.

The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg isn't a war film exactly, but it is a film that sees war from the other side. It's shows a woman forced to be alone and forced to make life changing choices while her lover is away at war, and it shows what it's like for a young man to go to war and return to a life that has changed without him. The film does so in the most romantic way possible.

Romance, as a genre, is not just a story of two characters being in love. A mood has to be set, a tone and a style. "The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg" does this to perfection by using everything at its disposal. Character, story, color and sound.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg: A Musical about Mundane Tragedies

As a double bill with my Past Lives review, here is one of the other great romantic films that can get me to cry, Demy's masterpiece Umbrellas of Cherbourg. If you have somehow never seen the film, watch it, and then read my review!

The resurgence of the musical as a popular cinematic genre is in theory a welcoming sign for a greater diversity in the contemporary American film landscape, even if the works are more marginal than what had come before. While specialists in the genre never went away, there have noticeably been fewer inclined to work extensively within that particular mode. Figures like Rob Marshall and Tom…
