Donkey Skin (1970)
6/10
great expectations can lead to great disappointment
15 October 2023
Target group? Unknown. Too bulky and weird for children, too infantile for adults.

Reputation? Not comprehensible. An arthouse fairy tale that probably sunk its entire budget into its two superstars, then there wasn't much left for the rest. "Rich in fantasy, colourful, lavish, detailed, artistic, [...]". Well, I don't know, for me it all seems cheap above all. So many Eastern European fairy tales do so much more, in all areas. Maybe I'm classifying the work completely wrong in principle, but the time break at the end had given me the rest in my overall moderate impression. Only the musical interludes were positive, everything else was a disappointment after too many expectations.
