The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

1964, dir Jacques Demy w/Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo, Anne Vernon, Marc Michel, 91 min, DCP

For a little winter-time cinematic comfort, we offer a double feature of these two gorgeous, poignant, and achingly romantic classics. In Jacques Demy’s operetta, THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, a beautiful young woman (Deneuve) falls for a mechanic (Castelnuovo) and promises to wait for him when he is called off to war… but can their love endure? In Wim Wenders’ haunting WINGS OF DESIRE, an angel (Ganz) fated to silently observe the living becomes enamored with a lonely trapeze artist (Dommartin) and allows himself to fall to Earth simply to be able to approach her.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 9:00PM screening of WINGS OF DESIRE. No additional purchase is necessary.
