Join the Ebert Center for our first event of 2026, a screening of Jacques Demy's
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), an enchanting French musical completely
sung-through that follows the love story of Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve) and
Guy (Nino Castelnuovo). Winner of the Palme d'Or and nominated for five
Academy Awards, the film’s vivid and virtuosic color palette has long provided
inspiration for visual artists. J
enny Oyallon-Koloski, associate professor of media and cinema
studies and a scholar of Jacques Demy, will introduce the film.
This event is free and open to the public.
Presented by the Roger Ebert Center for Film Studies
