Peau d’âne (re-release)
When a princess is threatened by her father to be forced to marry him, she flees the kingdom on the advice of her fairy godmother, hidden under the skin of a magical donkey. Disguised as a simple maid, she tries to build a new life until a prince discovers her true beauty.
For his first fairy tale film, Jacques Demy adapted Charles Perrault’s famous story into an enchanting musical full of imagination, humor, and visual inventiveness. Catherine Deneuve shines in the title role, alongside Jean Marais, Delphine Seyrig, and Jacques Perrin. With Michel Legrand’s sparkling music, extravagant costumes, and a world where magic and reality seamlessly blend, Peau d’âne became Demy’s biggest box office success in France and a beloved classic for both young and old.
