The lives of ordinary people given operatic treatment with a jazzy score, colorful sets, and lovely cinematography. I love this movie.

Who'd ever think you could get so much out of an auto mechanic and umbrella sales girl ; )

i'm not sure how i feel about this film...the ending was quite similar to that of Kazan's Splendor in the Grass, but i liked that ending much better. it felt more definite. nevertheless, the colors and music were breathtaking.

Saw this for the first time and was lucky enough to see it on the big screen in 35mm. Speaking as someone whose taste in movies swing pretty much the polar opposite direction as this film, I must say, I absolutely adored it.

Great colours and scenary and also an excellent Deneuve. I can't consider this movie a masterpiece 'cause I don't like its extreme pathetic side. The story is a little dull too.

Estava com um sono danado, mas revi "Guarda-chuvas do amor" com suas camadas cromáticas e musicais em destaque.Todos os diálogos são cantados e interpretados pelo elenco dedicado a um filme essencial num retrospecto do gênero 'cantante'. Sendo o cinema EUA a principal referência, os franceses, e a dupla Demy+Legrand em especial, contribuíram com um maior 'naturalismo' para os musicais de cinema.

Not a musical but a all-singing opera. Vivid and delicate love story from amazing and revolutionary colors. Beautiful Deneuve!

I saw this in the theatre last week during the Catherine Denevue Festival in Chicago. Stunning. This was made to be seen in an old theatre.

For a musical that runs on purely song it happened to be fantastic different point of view. Well recommended to any musical fan and lover of colorful cinematography. Brilliant ending as well.

Way too much singing, but beautiful nonetheless.

A gem. A penny plain story of young love split asunder is here transformed into a heightened piece of supreme melodrama. Finding musicality and colour in the drabbest moment or locale, Demy lifts the banal to new heights of expressionism in this insistently focused film and utilises one of the most gloriously gaudy colour pallets yet captured on film.

A musical that ceases to be a musical because music is the language of the world in which its characters inhabit. What is a musical if every word is spoken in song? This movie - amazingly making what could have been a pretentious, self indulgent concept movie into a charming, magical, poignant fairy tale about life, love, and loss.
