SELCS/CMII Film Club: Jacques Demy’s Umbrellas of Cherbourg, 1964 (2 June 2020)
By Christine E Sas, on 1 June 2020
Dear students,
I’m excited to announce our film for the SELCS/CMII Film Club this week, which will be Jacques Demy’s Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Jennifer Rushworth will be on hand to introduce and lead an informal discussion about this film on Microsoft Teams next Tuesday (see below also for changed timings and arrangements). Jennifer writes:
Join us to discuss Jacques Demy’s 1964 classic film Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). This gorgeous film, with music by Michel Legrand, is sung throughout and features a dazzlingly young and beautiful Catherine Deneuve in love and with some difficult decisions to make.

Really looking forward to this!
If you’d like to join this group please do so here:
In response to student feedback we are trying some changes to the timing and format next week.
We will meet on Tuesday 2 June, 4-5pm for an informal discussion about the week’s film – we realised that adding in a synchronous shared viewing is not really so practical due to the different times zones involved and we hope this will work better for more of you. So the aim is now for everyone to view the film at any time individually and at their own convenience, in advance of meeting up at 4pm for the post-film discussion.
Thank you and have a good week, see you soon,
Mererid
