Southend CineScene Presents 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg'

Jacques Demy’s candy-coloured musical follows young lovers Geneviève and Guy, separated by war, fate and choices, where every line is sung.
About this Event

As part of Southend CineScene’s monthly programme of Classic, Arthouse and Foreign Language cinema, we’re delighted to screen Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg at the Beecroft Art Gallery.

This dazzling, sung-through romantic musical stars a young Catherine Deneuve and is celebrated for its lush Technicolor visuals, unforgettable score by Michel Legrand, and bittersweet story of love, loss and chance. Bold, stylish and emotionally sharp, it remains one of the most influential European films of the 20th century.

Join us on Wednesday 4 February for an evening of truly cinematic colour and music, in the unique surroundings of the Beecroft Art Gallery.

Whether you’re a longtime cinephile or curious to explore world cinema, Southend CineScene offers a welcoming space to experience great films on the big screen.
