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

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

just some of my faves: - One Sings, the Other Doesn't (dir. Agnes Varda) - La Piscine (dir. Jacques Deray) - Visages, Villages (also Varda. she is the best) - Diabolique (dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot) - Passages (dir. Ira Sachs. maybe not a "fave" but a modern one and def interesting!!) - Une Femme est Une Femme (dir. Jean-Luc Godard. Only movie I've seen of his that I've liked lol my anti-rec is Breathless)
