Is the movie The Umbrellas of Cherbourg available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
At Stream Tracker, we take a look at Jacques Demy’s sung-through classic The Umbrellas of Cherbourg — a color-drenched, rain-soaked fable of young love set in 1957, where Guy, a young mechanic, and Geneviève, who helps run her mother’s umbrella shop, must face pregnancy, duty and the pull of the Algerian war. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival and carried by Michel Legrand’s unforgettable score (and a breakout turn by Catherine Deneuve), the film remains one of the great modern musicals. In this piece we check where you can watch it today — including whether The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ — and how regional availability, rental options or restorations might affect what you find when you click “play.”
Synopsis
Set in 1957, twenty-year-old auto mechanic Guy Foucher falls deeply for seventeen-year-old Geneviève Emery, who works in her widowed mother's fashionable but cash-strapped umbrella shop. On the eve of Guy's two-year military deployment to Algeria the young couple sleep together; when Geneviève discovers she is pregnant, she must decide whether to wait for Guy's return or to accept a marriage proposal from a wealthy diamond merchant.
