Product Overview

An adaptation of one of Charles Perrault's lesser-known fairytales, Jacques Demy's Donkey Skin is a classic French musical that is equal parts dark and playfully surreal. Analysing the film's subtle commentary on age-old romantic narrative tropes, Joanna Di Mattia explores its subversive undercurrents.
