Clark Art Screens 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg'

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Aug. 7 at 8:20 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents a free outdoor screening of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964) as part of its summer series of films that resonate with the themes of the exhibition Guillaume Lethière.
 
According to a press release:
 
"In The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," Catherine Deneuve plays an umbrella shop owner's delicate daughter, glowing with first love for handsome garage mechanic Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Told entirely through lilting songs by composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time. (Not rated. Run time: 1 hour, 35 minutes.)
 
Free. Films are shown outdoors at dusk on the Reflecting Pool lawn. For accessibility concerns, call 413 458 0524. Bring a picnic and your own seating. Grab-and-go food will be available for purchase until 7:30 pm at Café 7. Rain moves the showing to the auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
