I watched The Umbrellas of Cherbourg last night. My thoughts...
The movie was pretty to look at. There were so many bright, pretty colors. The bright blue painted walls, the pink, purple and blue wallpaper, the colorful dresses - every scene was full of color.
I couldn't feel the right emotion from the sing songy way they were singing. I don't know any french, so the words sounded foreign to me, but I also felt like they were singing in happy la la voices even when the captions I was reading were sad or angry. This made the movie feel less beautiful to me, and more off the wall.
The music did indeed get stuck in my head, but I think it was because almost the exact same tune was played for 92 minutes. Was it beautiful or was I just brainwashed?
The funniest scene was when Guy and Genevieve were "walking" along on the side walk and Guy was walking his bike...but really they were not making any walking movements, they were just strangely floating down the sidewalk.
