It’s gotta be my favorite Jacques Demy. It’s fantastical and stunning in a way I feel a lot of films wish they were. It’s super bizarre and campy and it feels just like a dream. I would also recommend Belle du Jour and The Blood of a Poet

his films are so expressive and fantastical and above all beautiful in the photos: the young girls of rochefort (1967) the umbrellas of cherbourg (1964) bay of angels (1963) donkey skin (1970)

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
