Abstract
Jacques Demy’s importance in the French New Wave ironically becomes clearest by way of his least obviously New Wave work of the 1960s, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which represents a curious intersection between the New Wave aesthetic and that of the “Tradition of Quality,” against which the movement claimed to rebel.
