French Film: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,
December 19 - 26 at OKCMOA


  • Returning to the Noble Theater in a 60th anniversary 4K restoration, Jacques Demy’s Palme d’Or winning musical is an exquisite and profoundly influential tale of star-crossed love and longing featuring the enchanting music of Michel Legrand and starring the great Catherine Deneuve.  

  • In French with English subtitles (91 minutes)

  • “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.” -Janus Films
