Every now and then your titles draw me from the Pittsburgh Webloggers page. This time I'm moved to add my two cents - love the movie, saw it on a rainy date in Philadelphia. I think it bears some relation to West Side Story and Romeo+Juliet in style and story and, of course, all three are in the "violent musicals" category.

While I have not seen this, your synopsis and statement: "Deneuve is the anti-Paltrow" makes it a must-see.

Thanks for the head's up.

Saw it when it first come out; didn't care much for it then; still don't care much for it. I see it as a not-completely-successful attempt to update the conventions of 19th century French opera. It's visually quite beautiful (Deneuve is indescribably beautiful) but I find it a little too surreal for my tastes.

I'm not sure that I agree that Cherbourg is in the "violent musicals" genre. In fact, I see it as going against those conventions. Cossard and Guy are both good men, and I see no violent conflict. Coud you elaborate?

Sometimes, you just have to let art flow over you...

Chrissy,

See it with someone you love, or want to.
