Viewed this flick at Anthology Film Archives on Thursday night. Incredible movie about a donkey, but mostly just life - joys and sorrows and loss and love. It touched me deeply.

donkey skin is a 70s french fairy tale musical, i feel like i cannot sell it any more than this haha. most films by jacques demy have this beautiful dreamlike quality to them and donkey skin is no exception - fun & beautiful, i 100% recommend!

This is one of my childhood films, it’s known in France and I don’t know if it’s been exported a lot but I love it !
It’s by Jacques Demy, THE French musical film director, and tells the story of donkey skin (based on a Grimm story I believe).
The costumes ! The Colors ! The songs ! Catherine Deneuve ! Random people with blue skin ! It’s all good
It all really creates a very whimsical fairy tale atmosphere that’s PERFECT
Anyway watch it with subtitles, I’m guessing dubbed musicals are really bad
Here is the trailer

The sweet resonant coo from nearby my bedroom window seems to have followed me from Brooklyn, NY to Long Beach, CA… Its persistent cadence, has become a point of fixation, a symbol of some continuity across landscapes. And while beautiful…its haunting refrain, unyielding and insistent, reflects the relentless march of time, a reminder that even amidst change, certain constants endure, anchoring me to the past as I navigate a very uncertain future…
