Paraplyerna I Cherbourg 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray

The angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve became famous through this dazzling musical by Jacques Demy that touches the heart. She plays the tender daughter of an umbrella shop owner, who glows with her first love for a handsome car mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is sent off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must quickly grow up. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors and told entirely through melodious songs by the great composer Michel Legrand. It is one of the most cherished and unorthodox film musicals of all time. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION
