Hope you brought your umbrellas, because we're about to shed projectile tears over this sentimental classic from the French New Wave: Jacque Demy's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. You can catch the film streaming on the newly launched Criterion Channel, along with John Woo's The Last Hurrah For Chivalry. Be sure to join us next episode for David Cronenberg's Videodrome! Thanks as always to Erin Larson for running the database of all our verdicts over at Letterboxd. And if you want a glimpse into Matt's tortured psyche, you can view some of the musicals he acted in as a child here and here.
