Catherine Deneuve shelters under an Umbrella of Cherbourg

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg- a film by Jacques Demy, Agnes Varda’s husband-was the film that made Catherine Deneuve-sister of actress Francoise Dorleac-a star. Though later she became known for inscrutable (Belle de Jour) or icy (Repulsion) roles Umbrellas was an operetta in which everything was sung. When I listened to Così Fan Tutte from the Met Opera on Sunday while  Covid-cleaning it reminded me that sometimes emotions are best expressed in song.
