Donkey Skin
Peau d'âne (original)
In this lovingly crafted, wildly eccentric adaptation of a classic French fairy tale, Jacques Demy casts Catherine Deneuve as a princess who must go into hiding as a scullery maid in order to fend off an unwanted marriage proposal—from her own father, the king (Jean Marais). A topsy-turvy riches-to-rags fable with songs by Michel Legrand, DONKEY SKIN creates a tactile fantasy world that’s perched on the border between the earnest and the satiric, and features Delphine Seyrig in a delicious supporting role as a fashionable fairy godmother.
Starring Catherine Deneuve, Jacques Perrin, Jean Marais, Delphine Seyrig, Fernand Ledoux, Micheline Presle, Sacha Pitoëff, Henri Crémieux, Pierre Repp, Louise Chevalier
It's a fantasy and music movie, and has a rating of 7 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
