Unfortunately when most Americans think musical they immediately think Sound of Music, Grease, South Pacific, Singing in the Rain, West Side Story and such. Sure they are popular and trademarks of the genre, but to be totally honest, the great don't come from the land of the free. Instead, the truly best come from the "language of love." That's right, kids, France. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (starring the lovely Catherine Deneuve), Young Girls of Rochefort, and Jean-Luc Godard's brilliant Woman is a Woman just to name a few. Which brings me to Les Chansons d'amour. What hopes to be the reemergence of the French musical. Feast your eyes on the trailer below and let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the film was a sensation at Cannes this year.
