Hereâs what I watched and readâ¦

MOVIES

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), directed by Jacques Demy, is a very good musical in which every line is sung. Since I donât speak French, it was sometimes difficult to fully connect the music with the charactersâ emotions while reading the subtitles. Still, I thought the final section, when Guy returns home, was outstanding.

Man on the Run (2025
