"A glorious romantic confection unlike any other in movie history"—Washington Post "A beam of movie heaven!"—Rolling Stone
Jacques Demy’s valentine to the classic Hollywood musical is one of the most beloved romantic movies of all time. Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour, The Last Metro, Indochine) is ravishing as Genevieve, a shop assistant madly in love with Guy (Nino Castelnuovo), a gas station mechanic. Every word of this ill-fated love story is sung to Academy Award-winner Michel Legrand’s enchanting score, which features the Oscar-nominated song “I Will Wait For You.”

Trivia:
In the beginning, a black car rolls into the garage where Guy works, and Guy is asked to assist with the car's problems. This car is actually Roland Cassard's and it can be seen two more times: when Roland visits the umbrella shop to give Ms. Emery the money for her pearl necklace, and again as the wedding car. The license plate is the same and can be seen in this latter scene and in the very first.
