Review of Donkey Skin (1908) by Céline H — 13 Jul 2008
Another Demy/LeGrand/Deneuve collaboration, this time a fairytale in the "Cinderella" vein. Magic, fairy godmothers, incest, a donkey that shits jewels, a helicopter, gorgeous colors and costumes, and Catherine Deneuve strutting about wearing an animal carcass.
The end result is very charming with a mischievous surrealist bent. A couple of the songs are forgettable, but others are truly wonderful. Ought to appeal to any fan of La Belle et la Bete (it evens stars Jean Marais).
