Les Parapluies de Cherbourg in Ciné-Concert at the Philharmonie de Paris

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, directed by Jacques Demy and awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1964, returns to dazzle audiences in a new form. This musical drama, starring a young Catherine Deneuve, will be presented as a ciné-concert on December 21 and 22, 2024 at the Philharmonie de Paris. Accompanied by the Yellow Socks Orchestra, this classic of French cinema will take on an unprecedented symphonic glow to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, Jacques Demy 's fourth feature, is an innovative work in which the dialogue is entirely sung. Shot in flamboyant Technicolor and accompanied by Michel Legrand's sublime score, the film tells the story of the heartbreaking romance between Geneviève (played by Catherine Deneuve) and Guy, a young couple separated by the Algerian war. This story of thwarted love turns into a sumptuous melodrama, sublimated by the performance of Deneuve, then a promising young actress.

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg en ciné-concert is aimed at classical film buffs, symphonic music lovers and anyone wishing to rediscover this masterpiece from a new angle. Fans of musical films such as La La Land or musicals such as West Side Story will find here a unique experience where cinema and music meet. The Yellow Socks Orchestra, masters in the art of cine-concert, will bring an unprecedented symphonic dimension to this timeless gem.
