There is nothing particularly new about the plot, which is a straightforward and uncomplicated love story divided into three acts, but the beauty of this film is in the telling of it.Īll the dialogue in this film is sung, which at first is a little unsettling, but it actually takes very little time to adjust to. This must be amongst the most distinctive, idiosyncratic and exquisite films I have seen in a long while. Find a Michel Legrand - Les Parapluies De Cherbourg first pressing or reissue.
