French filmmaker Jacques Demy¡¯s New Wave interpretation of the musical ¡°The Umbrellas of Cherbourg¡± (1964) is perhaps his most famous film, but he made numerous other unusual musicals, including ¡°The Young Girls of Rochefort¡± (1967) and ¡°Lady Oscar¡± (1979), which was co-produced in Japan and France and inspired by Riyoko Ikeda¡¯s popular manga ¡°The Rose of Versailles.¡±

This exhibition celebrating Demy¡¯s achievements through stills, film-location photos, sketches and art work was originally held at Cinematheque Francaise last year, and this is the first time the works are being shown in Asia; Aug. 28-Dec. 14.
