Critically Acclaimed #23: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and At Long Last Love
Before LA LA LAND there was THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, Jacques Demy’s musical masterpiece about tragic love, set against a colorful backdrop and unforgettable melodies. So why is it the perfect double feature with AT LONG LAST LOVE, a film that many have called the worst musical ever made (which is an argument we don’t dispute)? And how do they both compare to LA LA LAND anyhow?
The answers await you - as well as reviews of the new releases RAMPAGE and BLUMHOUSE’S TRUTH OR DARE, a recap of the Schmoedown Free-For-All, and a farewell to the late, great Milos Forman - on this very podcast!
Welcome back to Critically Acclaimed, where highbrow and lowbrow collide! Every week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review a BAD movie of YOUR choice and pair it with a GREAT movie of THEIR choice, to make an awesome and enlightening double feature. They also review new movies, answer your letters and more!
