Criterion Reflections – Episode 39 – Jacques Demy’s Donkey Skin

David and guests Robert Taylor, William Remmers and Derek J. Power express their varying degrees of enchantment in response to this whimsical fairy tale.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by William Remmers, Robert Taylor and Derek J. Power to discuss Donkey Skin, directed by Jacques Demy.
