Umbrella...Lots of words missing in my last comment. Umbrellas of Cherbourg overwhelms me. Sorry.<br /><br />@Jesse M. "Resignation" means sadness, in fact. Try think you are Nino Castelnuovo or Catherine Deneuve in this movie and imagine how does it feel waking up everyday. This movie is the number one of my broken heart parade, along with Brief Encounter and Splendor in the Grass. <br /><br />It hurts even more because they're young and supposed to be joyful. But they can't be. No more. And you see them together in the end it's like they're already dead. That's the soul of the movie, IMO. The colors are almost an ironic joke. Like life. <br /><br />You know, now we're talking about a true indelible masterpiece, something that transcends ratings like A+ or 10/10 or that easy quotes we see printed in DVD covers. No words can describe its perfection, its devastating effect, its... its everything. Art was invented for things like this movie.cal rothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-21840588910625489442010-08-10T10:39:03.963-04:002010-08-10T10:39:03.963-04:00I loved Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and never found it...I loved <i>Umbrellas of Cherbourg</i>, and never found it purely depressing. It celebrates the dreams of youth, even though it chronicles the characters outgrowing them. It's one of the most delicate mixes of joy and resignation that I've seen put to screen... a very wise film. The use of color is also incredible.<br /><br />Haven't seen the others mentioned, but I had to give a shout-out to <i>Umbrellas</i>.Jesse Mhttp://benefitofthedoubt.miksimum.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40023409585749753262010-08-10T10:31:12.643-04:002010-08-10T10:31:12.643-04:00cal -- true enough in terms of perceptions.

It is, but to say that as a first reference to it is to miss the point: this is one of the saddest movies ever made. <br /><br />It's not like you going to see it and become full of joy and get out singing and dancing after the movie is over. You're gonna cry hard and your heart is gonna skip a lot of beats. <br /><br />You're going to spend a whole week or a month thinking about how cruel life can be, specially in dangerous times when war destroy lives and separate lovers and how one sometimes just can´t put his life together after the damage is done, no matter how much it hurt to see the love of your life married with some guy with a kid that could be yours. <br /><br />Come on, this movie is so dark and bleak, and most of Demy's. I really can't understand how his movies can be so devastating with this "colorful" make-up. Have you seen Lola & and its marvelous sequel, Model Shop? It's like cut your wrists.<br /><br />Anyway, you and the joy of a colorful musical Demy style, go and see The Young Girls of Rochefort, with Deneuve and her sister, Françoise Dorléac. And Gene Kelly, in French!

Her beauty in Umbrellas of Cherbourg (or an anything, but especially in her early years) is unbelievable, almost to the point that it's hard to believe she's real. I oftentimes find myself having to rewind movies she's in because I get too distracted by her face at the expense of the plot line. It's flawless! <br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dCVZ3U_lipU/SRCnK49eMmI/AAAAAAAALOU/cE_3o5UiayA/s1600-h/lg_6232501_offici2qe7.jpg</a>Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-49328063503100291022010-08-10T00:34:38.940-04:002010-08-10T00:34:38.940-04:00I tried to post this earlier, but I guess links ar...I tried to post this earlier, but I guess links are a no-no now? <br /><br />Anyway, it is definitely Gamera, if you look at the Japanese trailer you can even see the scene they watch, or one very like it. Which means it's a slight anachronism (Japan release: 1965, US: 1966), but thematically resonant with turtle-like Pryce coming out of his shell in the big city with radioactive Don. <br /><br />(I apologize if this ends up showing up as a repeated post.

And I have to say, It's a Mad World is screamingly funny. Not everyone laughs at the same parts, but there's a section for everyone.

Her sister, Francois D'Orleac, was also beautiful. <br /><br />They have a thing in France where the Spirit of the Republic is embodied in a woman named Marianne. They choose a Frenchwoman and for a a period of years, all sculptures and representations (stamps, coins, etc) of Marianne are made in that woman's image. Deneuve was chosen to represent Marianne, as was Brigitte Bardot.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-69588736776908964012010-08-09T22:25:04.549-04:002010-08-09T22:25:04.549-04:00Just found out who Jared Harris's father is.
