Umbrellas of Cherbourg




Aside from Catherine Deneuve who is ripe as a peach, color is the other protagonist of this film. It is almost shocking how deliberate the use of color is. It serves not just to amuse in that swinging 60's sort of way but to confront and subvert ideas or conventions we have about sexuality, honor, brutality and beauty.
