This is a reading reinforced from the outset of the film, where after an iris opens on a ship's horn blow, the camera tilts down and we watch from a bird's-eye perspective umbrellas make their geometric way across the quay.
Says one film critic, "the details movies are compelled to specify — the shape of the settee on which two lovers are sitting, the distance between them, the color of the wallpaper behind them — are often inconsequential" (Leitch 160).
Demy's effort to forestall fading in turn marks the "originality" of the filmed material more so than any actual preservation could; it creates a mythic, original vibrancy that the viewer is asked to imagine — sure the colors in the new restored prints are bright, but just imagine what they used to be.

The episodic, bleak and mournful film was shot on location over an eleven-week period in northwestern Texas in a dusty, wind-swept, one-horse, declining small-town that was on the verge of being forgotten in the early 1950s.
The name of the town in the film, Anarene, located 8 miles South of Archer City, was chosen to provide correspondence to the cow-town of Abilene in Hawks' Red River (1948).
After a stark white-on-fl title, the opening shot, symmetrical to the film's closing shot, there is a pan from right to left down the empty main street of the deserted, desolate, wind-blown, dust-bowl town of Anarene.

Genevieve is the most quintessential of British comedies, a quaint satire in which an Englishman’s love of his motorcar precedes any feelings he may have for a woman.

 Jim's Reviews - The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Demy's films are set in self-contained, some would say hermetic, worlds, simultaneously wistful and fairy tale-like yet which contain enough of the psychological and social forces of 'real life' to constantly challenge their innate romanticism.
Yet Demy's films consistently eschew villains; and one of his insights – which keeps his best films from cloying – is that people contain enough internal contradictions that they are quite capable, all by themselves, of keeping their romantic fantasies from being realized.
The actors who star in those films (respectively, Marc Michel, Claude Mann, and Nino Castelnuovo) are arguably the equals in talent and appeal to his exceptional actresses (Anouk Aimee, Jeanne Moreau, and Catherine Deneuve), but those men's careers – although extensive – have not brought them roles in as many classic films.

The film itself was a curious experiment in which all of the words were sung; Michel Legrand wrote the wall-to-wall score, which includes not only the famous main theme and other songs, but also Demy's sung dialogue, in the style of the lines used to link passages in opera.
Demy regained control of the film a few years before his death in 1990, and I remember a summer day in 1989 when I sat with Demy and his wife, the director Agnes Varda, in the garden of their house in Paris, and they talked of restoring the film's original color.

 The Last Picture Show: Film and Video Installation in the Late '60s and Early '70s
The essential logic of these films was modernist, reasoning that cinema, driving to its medium specificity, found itself increasingly concerned with its physicality and therefore the space of its exhibition.
Structural film was especially vulnerable to these painterly concerns and as Peter Wollen argued, it “thus represented a displacement of concerns from the art world to the film world rather than an extension” (7).
In film projection, where all images that pass through a lens emerge distorted, critical contemplation was built in, and the spectator, with a little conceptual help, could interpret the signs and shadows – the “ambiguous stimuli”– before him.
