Les Parapluies de Cherbourg

Wed 3 February 2016

St John's College

An astonishingly beautiful and unusually operatic product of the French New Wave, Jacques Demy's sung-through musical romance made Catherine Deneuve a star. It tells a bittersweet story of lovers separated by war, illegitimate pregnancy and social and economic pressure to marry someone you don't necessarily love. Part of the series Reproduction on Film: Sex, Secrets and Lies. Put on by the Generation to Reproduction programme with funding from the Wellcome Trust. Co-presented by Alliance Française Cambridge.
