Thank you. So beautiful,no matter how many times you watch it.

Really good. Was watching the new show "Huge" from ABC, it's a show about kids at a weight loss camp for the summer and the antics, romances they get into. They mentioned this old movie, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg in the movie and I had never heard of it. Someone on You Tube has it in 9 parts ! It's worth a watch.

Why do they float?

@spacecleanerD I believe it is because the dream of romantic love can never be sustained once it has been attained. And in the rare cases that it might seem to, one of the partners will inevitably die before the other. Therefore sadness underlies all love between two lovers.

@byjbpm the colors are so accurate of the character's persnalities

This is an incredible film. I watched in my film analysis class and it is my favorite so far (I liked it more than Kurosawa's films) Demy's use of color is so deliberate; the pallet changes with the mood and the music. Also, notice the color coordination between the set and the character's clothing :)
