The Umbrellas of Cherbourg - directed by Michel Legrand - 1964


Today in literature class we watched a serious of old films. The fourth film was that had only singing. Tis was my favorite because I found it entertaining.
The setting is in Cherbourg. In the beginning it is revealed that there has been conscription. The Two lovers have been separated by this. He will return in two years if he survives the war and she has promised to wait for him.
The main theme is obviously love and the impact war has on our families and loved ones. The singing was really good and the songs were catchy.
