  im not entirely sure if i just watched a 70s french musical featuring songs about not marrying your father, helicopters, red horses, women vomiting frogs, parrots that speak french, catherine deneuve singing about cake, or if the side effects of my zoloft are getting worse

  Enough of that Disney bullshit. I’m showing this to my kids. It’s got an anti-incest song and a baking tutorial! Some good life lessons here.

  This film's first act proves my scientific theory that the only person more beautiful than Catherine Deneuve is Catherine Deneuve.

  dear lord, did i love this movie.

  there's something inherently sinister about these vintage fairy tales, which are so boastfully naked in their storytelling that a raw sexuality emanates from the furniture. maybe i've just watched too much Borowczyk, but in sublimating all thoughts of sex into a storybook-pure concept of "love," all eros assumes a darker desire. i know Demy loves this stuff, but there's something really unsettling when a filmmaker capable of such darkness feigns innocence... like Herzog with HEART OF GLASS.

  anyway, as much as DONKEY SKIN would obviously be inconceivable without BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, i'll take this any day of the week. i may even prefer this to Demy's other musicals, even though it loses…
