Join us for one of French cinema’s most beloved classics: Jacques Demy’s enchanting musical masterpiece Peau d’Âne (Donkey Skin, 1970). A dazzling blend of fairy-tale magic, whimsical humor, and vibrant color, the film is a crown jewel of French cinema.


At the heart of the film is the score by Michel Legrand, whose melodies range from tender to playful and have become closely associated with the film’s enduring appeal. His music forms an integral part of the storytelling and emotional tone.


After the screening, we are delighted to welcome special guest Michael Warnoffsky, professor at Berklee College of Music, whose expertise in film scoring will shed light on Michel Legrand’s contribution to the film.

 

The conversation will be led by Barbara Bouquegneau, President and Executive Director of the French Library.


The evening will include a reception where guests can connect and share their thoughts over a glass of wine.


Movie in French with English subtitles. The Q&A that will follow the screening will be in French and English.
