Saturday Matinee: 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' In-Person

"Jacques Demy's valentine to the classic Hollywood musical is one of the most beloved romantic movies of all time. Every word of dialogue is sung in this glorious masterpiece starring the ravishing Catherine Deneuve as Geneviève, a shop assistant madly in love with Guy (Nino Castelnuovo), a gas station mechanic. Their ill-fated love story unfolds to Academy Award-winner Michel Legrand's enchanting score, which features the Oscar-nominated song, 'I Will Wait for You.'" In French, with English subtitles. Runtime: 1 hr 31 min, not rated.
