I think this might be my very first comment on KZfaq. I watched this movie at the theater with my then boyfriend two years ago. We hadn’t even planned on going to the theater that day, and we bought the tickets so randomly we didn’t even know it was a French movie. But we ended up having so much fun and we loved the movie. I loved the song so much and kept listening to it on repeat for months after that then eventually sorta forgot about it. We broke up two months ago and I just found myself searching for the song and crying my heart out listening to it. I miss him so much it physically hurts my heart. We were together for 9 years. Idk why I’m writing this here but I just needed to share this with anyone.. I hope he’s doing better than me.

I grew up thinking people really did this sort of thing in France, weeping and singing together in a cafe over a glass of vermouth....

Possibly the most beautiful couple ever on screen in possibly the most tender moment. I have lived with this music all my life. It’s still heartbreaking. This is not a movie, it is elevated beyond that. This is art.

The voices were dubbed (as is often the case and nothing wrong with that) but for naturalism of the mouth and throat movements the actors were asked to sing along during filming. Michel Legrand said "they sang like crows". Visually and musically the film was a work of art.

we watched this movie in french class today, such a beautiful song.

What music… what emotions…

I mean Legrand struck gold with this music.

I was living in Provence at that very time, and one of my dear friends, a beautiful young man called Henri, was so devastated at being conscripted to fight in Algeria, and I never saw him again. Don’t know what happened to him.

LA LA Land doesn’t even come close to this masterpiece.

Legrand was born in Paris to his father, Raymond Legrand, who was himself a conductor and composer, and his mother, Marcelle Ter-Mikaëlian, who was the sister of conductor Jacques Hélian.Raymond and Marcelle were married in 1929

Inoubliable ❤ Catherine Deneuve etait ravissante et cette musique mélancolique et si jolie , le style Français à son apogée !

Dans son film, Jacques Demy aborde un grand nombre de sujets importants dans la société française aux alentours de 1960 : Les Parapluies de Cherbourg est l'un des premiers films à évoquer la guerre d'Algérie (de 1954 à 1962), sujet tabou en France. Jacques Demy place la guerre d'Algérie au centre des malheurs de Geneviève. Même si la guerre n'apparaît qu'en filigrane, avec le départ de Guy, ses lettres et son retour, c'est quand même elle qui tient finalement le premier rôle, déterminant l'avenir des deux héros. Très peu d’œuvres françaises accordent une place à cet évènement pourtant marquant de l’histoire française. La guerre d’Algérie n’est pas évoquée sous tous ses aspects, puisqu’elle ne constitue pas le sujet du film, mais des détails précis sont donnés, du point de vue de Guy soldat français : la longue durée du service militaire, mais aussi : « Hier soir une patrouille est tombée dans une embuscade et trois soldats sont morts » (la lettre) - « Un attentat à la grenade, c’était fréquent » (le retour) - « Le soleil et la mort voyagent ensemble ». In his film, Jacques Demy tackles a large number of important subjects in French society around 1960 : The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the first films to evoke the Algerian war (from 1954 to 1962), a taboo subject in France. Jacques Demy places the Algerian war at the center of Geneviève's misfortunes. Even if the war only appears implicitly, with Guy's departure, his letters and his return, it is still war that ultimately plays the leading role, determining the future of the two heroes. Very few French works give a place to this event, however significant in French history. The Algerian war is not mentioned in all its aspects, since it is not the subject of the film, but precise details are given, from the point of view of Guy, a French soldier: the long duration of military service, but also : « Last night a patrol was ambushed and three soldiers died » (the letter) - « A grenade attack was frequent » (the return) - « The sun and death travel together ».

This movy is the love of my life, y was 17 years old and my dear love called Guely was 15 Now Y have 73 and still remenber Guely from this movie

Masterpiece of a movie. First saw this movie 27 years ago. It has stayed on my mind since.

So heart wrenching and beautiful!😢💔

I was so happy he found someone

I recently completed a book titled 'Love From Paris' and the characters from the story who are Emmanuelle and Henry reminded me of both of the characters in this movie....such beautiful love stories❤️😢

♥️💎♥️ If I could just speak francais..six year learnt at younger age but if you dont use it. So beautiful language ♥️

Tres beau 💕

The best, most underrated, band in the world, Sparks (Ron and Russell Mael), list this as one of their favourite movies.

What a movie this is! And who can hear this song with dry eyes?

Excelent scene.

Magnifique chanson. Michel Legrand est un pur génie. Sur le fond de la guerre d'Algérie.

Geneviève : J’avais tellement peur de ne pas te trouver ! Je suis si heureuse d’être avec toi ! Maintenant, je ris parce que je me rends compte Combien je suis bête quand je suis toute seule ! J’ai parlé à maman de notre mariage Elle m’a évidemment traitée de folle Et puis ce soir, elle m’a interdit de te voir ! Tu comprends, j’ai eu si peur ! J’aime mieux partir n’importe où Ne plus revoir maman, que de te perdre ! Nous nous marierons en cachette ! Guy : Oh... Tu sais, maintenant, ça n’a plus d’importance ... Nous avons même tout notre temps ... Ce matin, j’ai reçu cette feuille de route Et je dois partir pour deux ans ... Alors, le mariage, on en reparlera plus tard ... Avec ce qui se passe en Algérie en ce moment Je ne reviendrai pas d’ici longtemps ... Geneviève : Mais... je ne pourrai jamais vivre sans toi ! Je ne pourrai pas ! Ne pars pas, j’en mourrai ! Je te cacherai et je te garderai ! Mais, mon Amour, ne me quittes pas ! Guy : Tu sais bien que ce n’est pas possible ! Geneviève : Je ne te quitterai pas ! Guy : Mon Amour ! Il faudra pourtant que je parte ! Tu sauras que moi, je ne pense qu’à toi Mais je sais que toi, tu m’attendras Geneviève : Deux ans ! Deux ans de notre vie ! Guy : Ne pleure pas, je t’en supplie ! Geneviève : Deux ans ! Non, je ne pourrai pas ! Guy : Calme-toi, il nous reste si peu de temps ! Si peu de temps, mon Amour ! Il ne faut pas le gâcher ! Il faut essayer d’être heureux ! Il faut que nous gardions de nos derniers moments Un souvenir plus beau que tout ! Un souvenir qui nous aidera à vivre ... Geneviève : J’ai tellement peur quand je suis seule ! Guy : Nous nous retrouverons et nous serons plus forts ! Geneviève : Tu connaîtras d’autres femmes Tu m’oublieras ! Guy : Je t’aimerai jusqu’à la fin de ma vie ! Geneviève : Guy, je t’aime ! Ne me quitte pas ... Mon Amour, ne me laisse pas ! Guy : Viens ! Viens, mon Amour ! Mon Amour !

I adore this movie, and nothing about this sucks. At all. Goddamn gorgeous. 👍

Guy: _"...mais je sais que toi, tu m'attendra."_ Me: "Yeah, about that..."

너무 아름다운 언어

Ce film s'appelle Les Parapluies de Cherbourg. C'est une comédie musicale et dans cette comédie musicale il y a cette chanson qui pour moi est une des plus belles chansons d'amour qui soit. C'est une chanson qui me touche énormément.

Россия тоже знает и любит этот выдающийся фильм!

Great film but very sad

I hv listen to Andy Williams version, and many versions of just music like Mantovani since the 1970... thank for sharing, only today i know it's from a French film

Bellísima música.

Magical Demy. Love the part where they're floating.

Thank you for posting. ♥

This song sounds better in French. The English version sounds heavier and quite overblown in comparison 😊

Queen of Hearts ❤🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🤭🤭🤭

This is my guilty pleasure, sometimes leading to shedding a tear. And I don't even speak French!

A film, that should never been translated to English ❤❤❤ so beautiful ❤❤❤ 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

Ok idk what the fuck how didn't I know about this movie I can't get it out of my head

Beautiful.

0:39 the umbrella (le parapluie) catches his hair

This is the voice of Danielle Licari, not Catherine Deneuve

C'est facile à dire quand ils sont tous les deux vivants. Mais quand l'un d'eux est abandonné par la mort de l'autre... même avec l'espoir de la résurrection... la perte est trop grande et la solitude trop lourde à supporter!

Le Grand genius for composing a melody note for note and lyricist genius for translating word for you a song originally composed in Yiddish - genius even though melody and lyrics were written by older, fellow Jewish people.

J'aimerais pouvoir vivre à cette époque, maintenant les "gens" sont comme des robots avec leurs téléphones coincés dans les mains, belle chanson, a été supprimée de KZfaq mais a finalement été retrouvée ~~ 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 Wou dat ik in deze tijd kon leven , nu zijn de 'mensen' net robots met hun telefoon vastgekleefd in hun handen, prachtig liedje, was verwijderd van yt maar weer hervonden 🇫🇷 🇳🇱

Isso que é sofrer por amor ❤

🖤

I look for any indication of insincerity on her part... No. They were kids, she meant it, but she was just unable to make that commitment. His eventual disappointment must have been wrenching.

She winds up being for the streets.....

Some cultures value umbrellas as part of the bridal gift.

Why isn’t this song on Spotify 😭😭

The desperation of Genevieve is clearly shown in this memorable scene. Guy dodged a cannon ball, not a bullet. And his wife is SO lovely, still deeply in love, but her own person. The last scene of the film shows the vacant shell that she has become in a few short years, while Guy is determined to be happy with his new life. And by the way, "waiting forever" is hardly what Deneuve's character did. She married another man within a year. NEITHER of those two were in love with each other.

плюрэю я

Un sospiro non è nulla come neppure è nulla questo impulso che guida il mio corpo verso te. Da un capo all'altro del mare disegnato tra false colline 🌿

Debio casarse en secreto antes de irse a la guerra ya que ambos ya habían pasado otros limites. Era de saberse que los bebés no los trae la cigüeña.

Rich diamond trader steals pregnant girlfriend of soldier fighting for France.

Какая "команда" ?! В Каннах был более чем заслуженный и обосноаанный успех. И глубокий культорологический анализ и в Великобритании, и в Португалии, это что известно. И "фантомные боли" не о каком колониализме, нахрен никому не нужному, извинините за выражение, они носили и носят обоюдный характер.

“I will wait for you” my ass!!! Wonderful film though

The bee atch didn't wait.
