Cinematic Threads
Yeah, I love musicals. I’m a big fan of Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor and Fred Astaire. I’m a big fan of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I remember when I was teaching film at Harvard, I showed The Umbrellas of Cherbourg to my students. I loved it. I tried to make a musical with School Daze.
