The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

A light, inconsequential French melodrama. Wikipedia: "The film's dialogue is entirely sung as recitative, including casual conversation, and is sung-through, or through-composed, like some operas and stage musicals."  Not my type of drama, but interesting. I'm glad I broadened my scope a little. Thanks Em! (Brattle Theater, Cambridge)
