The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 4K Restoration
A film for all the young lovers of the world.
Jacques Demy
An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s delicate daughter, glowing with first love for a handsome garage mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors, and told entirely through the lilting songs of the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.
On Thursdays before 4 p.m., everyone gets Sidewalk Membership pricing with $8 matinee tickets, free coffee, and 10% off concessions. The film will have on-screen captions when made available by the distributor.
