By the time little Francoise is playing with the snow on the frame of the car door I was sobbing so badly in the movie theater in 1965 (I was 17) I couldn't even get up to leave the theater. The film was one of those defining events in my young life. I'm so pleased to see Rosalie Varda Demy had played the part. I didn't know. Bravo to all......for the restoration of this genius beauty.
Beautiful restoration capturing the radiant youth of these two lead actors and boy do the set decoration COLORS come alive!. Thank you for keeping reviving these classics for the future.
I had forgotten the snow. I was too wrapped up in the faces, the poignancy, the remoteness of the daughter from the daddy... a forecourt, and a lifetime away. I think it was this film that finally pushed me into learning French.... (Duolingo)
This video made me aware of this film and I have to thank you so much for it. It is definitely one of the most beautiful romance films I have ever seen. It really hits hard. And now looking back at the old versions, I have to commend your work at the new restoration, it was a true pleasure to watch and listen to. Beautiful, beautiful work. Thank you!
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (Os Guarda-Chuvas de Cherbourg), filme dirigido, nos idos de 1964, por Jacques Demy, apresenta os artistas Catherine Deneuve e Nino Castelnuovo como atração principal, lembrando-nos o estilo de uma ópera, pois os diálogos são recitativos ou cantados, deste modo é um musical. [PURA CHANCE da obra ESPETACULAR, de Fernando Pinheiro]
The restoration is outstanding, but I always considered that stabilization of footage even in still shots were not well achieved. In the trailer you can see many shots where the image is shaking notoriously.
You haven't mentioned which wet scanner is used, which restoration software is used, which audio sfx software is used?. If you tell with these it could be better
I agree on that little clip about her coat, but watch same clip again and see that Catherine's whole face and hair and other important parts are actually quite more saturated in the "restoration" even though the mothers red coat is desaturated. For me this is the best film ever made and Demi the best film maker (with about ten others not far behind, but none with the guts or imagination or dare I say gayness, using the old meaning of the word having nothing do do with sexual [dare I say today] perversion). But regarding that mothers red coat, they should have left it saturated, that is the whole point of this best of all Jacques Demi films.

Film restoration sounds like such a cool job

All I felt is irony and cynicism lol
I saw this film in 1965 on its release. Wonderful. I have it on DVD and have watched at least once a month since. Love it.

i saw the film at a screening last summer. truly one of the best films i had ever seen and i'm happy that a restoration is coming. merci agnes.

just the small snippet of her speaking of Francoise was enough for me to choke up :'(
I cried in the end of this video
I don't like Musicals, but this one is the great exception, it makes you forget that it is one. I actually love this film.
watershed44 You might like La La Land. The director was influenced but this film. If you aren't partial to musicals, it's not all singing and dancing.
Ironic considering that it's one of the few musicals where every single line is sung!
Try films like The Young Girls of Rochefort and you’ll love them
@@randywhite3947 I love musicals! #JesusChristSuperstar is a great movie. As is #FiddlerontheRoof.
Looks gorgeous!
Is the restored version already available in DVD? I will order definitely!

A masterpiece or French indeed of all cinema.
Can't wait to have this on blu!
Jeff Hocker I just got mine. It was beautifully restored!
A fine restoration.
Catherine Deneuve was the most beautiful girl in the world then.
MVE how can you tell through all that paint?
@@pmays4 Her beauty shines right through it!
@@moow950 , good one!
tres somptueux, haute qualite

wait a minute, why am I watching this? - I own this box set on blu-ray - i need to give TH-cam a break for a while and go outside for some fresh air
fascinating.

Catherine Deneuve, ooh la la.

Best things about this film are the song, the colours and Anne Vernon as Geneviéve's Mum - well fitter than Catherine Deneuve.
Does the restored Blu-Ray version include English & Spanish subtitles? That detail is not listed on the Criterion Films web site link provided.
I don't believe they have spanish subtitles, don't know of any criterion release with spanish subtitles. They have english subtitles for sure
@@RevolutionCybernetic I appreciate the info.
🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️👍
The end of the film was lost several very sophisticated details in outstanding acts by the Jack ... I am so sorry! I have to fined old one
Are you saying the restored version is missing key elements/scenes at the end?
This movie is no good, because it doesn't have any super heroes, robots, or space ships...
I like the marks : (
So even France succumbed to awful digital projectors? I cry for them.
I'm sorry but at 3:15 the "after" looks worse than the "before" it is over saturated.
I thought the same. What a poor color grading job...
@@TheStOne1 Agree. The "after" looks murky compared to the original.
Totally agreed
it was off-putting how quickly the colorist decided to change the jacket

Oh, I thought the movie was supposed to have saturate colors.
Agreed. The charm of the original was that it had that technicolor look. The new version is flat by comparison.
Was waiting for the comparison. Wow .! Far too much saturate color. Hope flesh tones aren’t all turned to orange. Gonna watch the original tonite .
The colour desaturation has been overdone IMO.
