Saccharine for some, poignant for others, Jacques Demy's
'enchanted' world is familiar to generations of French audiences
accustomed to watching Christmas repeats of his fairytale Peau
d'ane (1970) or seeing Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac
prance and pirouette in Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1966). Demy
achieved international recognition with Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
(1963), which was awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes. However,
beneath the apparently sugary coating of his films lie more
philosophical reflections on some of the most pressing issues that
preoccupy Western societies, including affect, subjectivity,
self/other relations and free will. This wide-ranging book
addresses many of the key aspects of Demy's cinema, including his
associations with the New Wave, his unique approach to musicals,
his adaptations of fairytales, his representations of gender and
sexuality and his legacy as an iconic director for generations of
audiences and filmmakers. -- .
