Umbrellas of Cherbourg,
The (Parapluies de Cherbourg, Les) (1964) Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo Director: Jacques Demy Plot: Two young lovers are separated by his leaving for his army service. Review: Deemed a classic of French cinema, and the film that launched Catherine Deneuve's career. The film's dialogue is entirely done in song which is one of the things that makes this film so special, but also makes some moments seem forced. The plot is simple, but the film is a sweet, romantic story of love, loss, and accepting change. The scenes are photographed in vibrant colors and the score in particular is haunting and memorable. Drama: 8/10 |

Umbrella Story (Hong Kong - 1995) |
Unagi
(The Eel) (1997)
Stars: Koji Yakusho, Misa Shimizu Director: Shohei Imamura Plot: A white-collar worker stumbles on his wife having an affair and kills her. After eight years in prison, he is paroled and decides to open a barber shop in a small community. Afraid that his past will come out, he stays away from most of the villagers, talking only to the eel he befriended while in prison. Then one day he finds the unconscious body of a woman attempting suicide, and he is drawn into her life. Review: The Eel is a low-key, sentimental and utterly fascinating story of personal redemption, a film full of delicate moments and of interesting characters. The pace is slow, but the tension and interest is expertly maintained by legendary Japanese director Shohei Imamura. Well-deserved winner of the Golden Palm at the Cannes film festival in 1997 (co-winner with A Taste of Cherry). Drama: 9/10 |
