I love some good fairytale/Shakespeare briges. And I never realized that I could draw this one:

Jacques Demy's Peau d'Âne and the 1968 Romeo and Juliet movie both are about a youthful love story using red and blue as color-coding for the opposite clans. (Plus both made around the same era and with a similar 60s/70s aesthetic)

Fairytales in French cinema

Pictures from Jacques Demy's "Peau d'Âne" (Donkeyskin). This 1970 movie was Jacques Demy's attempt at creating a move equal to the classical Disney fairytale movies (like Snow-White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty), but in France and in live-action. It is commonly agreed that he succeeded.

"Peau d'Âne" stays one of the most iconic pieces of French fantasy in cinema, and one of the two most famous fairytale movies of France - alongside Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast.

L’amour se porte autour du cou, le cœur est fou, Quatre bras serrés qui s’enchaînent l’âme sereine, Comme un foulard de blanche laine, L’amour s’enroule et puis se noue, Amour, amour, m’a rendu fou...
