Film
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
★ Editor's Pick
A love story told entirely in song: a young woman and a petrol-station attendant fall in love, are separated by the Algerian War, and are forced to take different paths. Demy's film makes ordinary heartbreak achingly, permanently beautiful.
