jeune fille en fleur

Yes, "jeune fille en fleur." That's how British film historian Douglas McVay referred to Catherine Deneuve's presence in Jacques Demy's "Les parapluies de Cherbourg"/"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964), one of 25 Deneuve titles that make up the BAMcinématek's simply-titled retrospect, "Deneuve," which plays 4 March through 31 March. (BAMcinématek is, of course, part of the Brooklyn Art Museum.)

The ambitious program includes only Deneuve's foreign-language performances (she's made a jaw-dropping 111 films to date) and I've taken the liberty of highlighting personal favorites with an asterisk.

Here's the dazzling line-up:
