This is a 1964 French musical film directed by Jacques Demy. Its famous theme music was written by Michel Legrand. The film dialogue is all sung as recitative, even the most casual conversation. Jacques Demy has turned the basic drama of everyday life into a gripping opera full of bittersweet passion and unforgettablel charm, featuring a timeless performance from Catherine Deneuve. I seldom cry while watching movies, but on this one my tears came out at the somewhat-happy-yet-melancholic-and-thought-provoking end.
