Les parapluies de Cherbourg - an amazing movie

"When she made "Umbrellas'' for the French director Jacques Demy, Deneuve was 20, and her work in this film was a flowering that introduced one of the great stars of modern French cinema. The film itself was a curious experiment in which all of the words were sung; Michel Legrand wrote the wall-to-wall score, which includes not only the famous main theme and other songs, but also Demy's sung dialogue, in the style of the lines used to link passages in opera. This style would seem to suggest a work of featherweight romanticism, but "Umbrellas'' is unexpectedly sad and wise, a bittersweet reflection on the way true love sometimes does not (and perhaps should not) conquer all."

Cinemuzica la Radio Romania Muzical

"Filmul este cea mai tânără artă, dar în ciuda acestui fapt a ştiut încă de la bun început să lege o frumoasă prietenie cu artele surori. Aşa încât, de-a lungul istoriei cinematografului, acesta a găsit sursă de inspiraţie în teatru, balet, pictură, muzică.

Muzica a devenit în timp un partener „strategic” al filmului, iar premiile Oscar au introdus în lista lor şi pe cel pentru cea mai bună coloană sonoră.

Mari compozitori au creat pentru filme, melodii care au rămas nemuritoare, iar musicalul, gen cinematografic pe care America l-a creat, a devenit unul de succes.

Muzica a fost sursă de inspiraţie şi pentru scenarişti sau regizori; unii dintre ei au ajuns celebri pentru producţii care au ca subiect arta sonoră, mari compozitori sau interpreţi. Relaţia s-a dezvoltat şi mai mult iar literatura, muzica şi filmul s-au întâlnit în producţii celebre.

Iată de ce Radio România Muzical propune un format care să cuprindă toate acestea şi încă multe alte surprize (...)."

"Gallica "Classique" est une collection du site Gallica. Cette sélection permet un accès direct aux textes fondateurs de la littérature française ainsi qu'une appropriation rapide. Conçu tant pour les lycéens et les étudiants que pour les professeurs, les chercheurs ou les curieux, ce site propose des outils de recherche et de navigation (chronologies, listes de sites) ainsi qu'un mode d'emploi. Les documents y sont disponibles, comme dans Gallica, en mode image et/ou en mode texte (...). Avec cette nouvelle collection, Gallica, jusqu'à présent consacré au XIXe siècle francophone, s'ouvre à la littérature française, depuis le moyen âge jusqu'à la veille de 1914. Cette initiative s'inscrit dans la politique de la Bibliothèque nationale de France qui vise à diffuser le plus largement sa bibliothèque numérique afin d'assurer le rayonnement de la culture francophone sur l'Internet. Très prochainement, Gallica donnera ainsi accès à plus de dix millions de pages."
