Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
Synopsis
A bittersweet musical romance entirely sung. Greta Gerwig cited it as the visual blueprint for Barbieland in Barbie.
Cinema Atlas Connection
The greatest influences on my work have always been those films that found ways to combine formal audacity with emotional directness. Films like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, where every line is sung, yet the emotion is absolutely raw and heartbreaking.
