“Could this be the saddest musical of all time? One of the greatest films ever made in any genre … and never not breathtaking.”
—Vulture
“Rarely, at least since the end of the silent era, have the movies produced such a stirring, unabashedly sincere display of pure feeling, represented in color, movement, and song. Even the most cynical viewer, if he’s not careful, may find himself overwhelmed.”
—Time Out
A young French woman (Catherine Deneuve in a star-making role) falls for a young mechanic about to be drafted to war in this colorful romantic musical directed by Jacques Demy with a score by Michel Legrand.
