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.*Screened in French with English-language subtitles.* \n\n\n\n \n Director: Jacques Demy\n Year: 1970\n Country: France\n Runtime: 90 minutes URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/donkey-skin/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/donkey-skin.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240515T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240515T210000 DTSTAMP:20260524T235249 CREATED:20240426T053446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240426T053448Z UID:10001382-1715799600-1715806800@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:THE DOLL (Church of Film) DESCRIPTION:A pathologically shy night watchman falls deeply in love with a mannequin and plots her theft.

But his new manifested lover has demands\, and the world around him has serious questions… Can a fragile and introverted creature cope with and explain his incomprehensible relationship?

A world where he is Jim Hawkins from Robert Louis Stevenson’s TREASURE ISLAND! One of Chilean Surrealist Raul Ruiz’s dearest ambitions was to adapt the childrens’ classic for film\, and so he did\, with money from a big name American distributor and instructions not to deviate from the text. He deviated from all of it. Starring Anna Karina\, Jean-Pierre Leaud\, Martin Landau\, and pop singer Sheila\, Ruiz’s TREASURE ISLAND is a masterfully labyrinthine surrealist metatext\, and a full dynamite-charged brain-blown deconstruction of children’s literature and adventure cinema\, in a free-flowing logic of media and dreams.
