Went to see Umbrellas of Cherbourg at the Castro this afternoon with Jack. It's an amazingly colorful movies from 1964 in which all the dialogue is sung. I hadn't seen it before. It's a love story, but one that is mildly tragic. Anyway, I didn't cry until the end -- Jack had seen it before and cried more than I did, I think because he understands ( Read more... )
