Movies We Love: a Savoy monthly film series that celebrates the movies we love most.
April showers never sounded so sweet. This April 18, we’re excited to host a very special screening of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Jacques Demy’s dreamy, music-soaked romantic classic.
A sheltered daughter of an umbrella-shop owner (Catherine Deneuve) falls deeply in love with a young mechanic (Nino Castelnuovo)—until war in Algeria pulls them apart and forces them to face adulthood too soon. Bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors and carried entirely by the soaring melodies of Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a singular, heart-stirring musical/romance.
