The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg ~ Michel Legrand 1964

This film extract is of two lovers and the boy goes off to war and asks the girl not to forget him. The entire film is sung in French which is refreshingly different and amusing. The colours are fairly bland whilst in the cafe before he leaves, this shows their sorrow over him leaving. The image of the girl on the platform as the train moves on is lonely and effects the audience emotionally. This film is touching as you can see their love for each other and how hard it is for the two of them to separate. Overall, I enjoyed this extract because of it's French style.
