I had to get used to the fact that the whole movie is actually sung, but it's quite easy to get used to it. Catherine Deneuve is absolutely incredible in the way she can act and sing, she is beautiful and dramatic, and this is just one of the many proofs of what a great actress she has always been, even at such a young age. This musical has an immensely strong emotional charge.
