France w/d Jacques Demy
This film is sui generis...one of the great works of world cinema.
An operetta, a love story bathed in froth, unmatched set design and use of color, beautiful stars (a young and radiant Catherine Deneuve). All the dialogue is sung, Michel Legrand's score soaring and magnificent...pure romantic schmaltz.
But there is also truth, pain, disappointment, sad resignation, life itself. A celebration of first love as we wish it were; a recognition of life as it really is. Timeless and unforgettable.
