The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a 1964 French musical drama written and directed by Jacques Demy, with music by Michel Legrand, starring Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo as two young lovers separated by circumstance in the coastal town of Cherbourg. Its dialogue is sung throughout rather than spoken, giving the film an operatic, sung-through structure that was unusual for its time. It won the Palme dOr at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, the only French New Wave film to receive that honor, and earned Academy Award nominations including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Song for its theme I Will Wait for You.
