A cornerstone of world cinema, this film has been described by Vulture as “possibly the saddest musical of all time” and “one of the greatest films ever made in any genre.” Time Out praised its rare emotional power, calling it a breathtaking fusion of color, movement, and song that can overwhelm even the most cynical viewer.
Directed by Jacques Demy and featuring a luminous, star-making performance by Catherine Deneuve, the film follows a young woman who falls in love with a mechanic just as he is about to be drafted into war. With an unforgettable score by Michel Legrand, this romantic musical is both visually radiant and profoundly moving.
