Quote:
Though undeniably an exercise in style over substance from the opening frames, Tony Scott’s languid exercise in gothic vampirism may disappoint those with little patience for arty overindulgence, though those with a taste for slow-burning decay may find The Hunger an involving study in the desperation for love and eternal youth. Vampire enthusiasts and Ann Rice followers drawn to the more romantic aspects of the mythology will likewise succumb to Catherine Deneuve’s seductive menace and David Bowie’s otherworldly charismatic performance, with Susan Sarandon offering a compelling turn as a doctor drawn in to the dark underworld while attempting to halt the vampiric Bowie’s rapidly accelerated aging process. The distinctly seductive trio certainly makes for an interesting screen presence if nothing else, and despite frequent long stretches in which little is happening in terms of action, they are consistently compelling to watch. The scenes in which Bowie withers away into old age are rendered especially chilling given not only the actor’s slowed and cautious mannerisms, but in some effectively convincing make-up by Dick Smith and co. In his feature directorial debut, Tony Scott had yet to develop a fully realized sense of storytelling, though by throwing out most preconceived notions of vampirism and focusing on the intense eroticism often merely hinted at in the majority of mainstream efforts, his inexperience actually benefits the film in terms of providing an eerily disconnected tone. Though the film does include an ample amount of bloodletting, the action here nevertheless flows like frozen molasses, a fact that may well leave many viewers with a hunger of their own.

Quote:
Donkey Skin takes its story from the fairy tale of the same name, as told by 17th-century French writer Charles Perrault. A variant of Cinderella, the tale begins with a king (Jean Marais), who is well-loved and very happy, as he has a beautiful wife (Catherine Deneuve) and a beautiful daughter (Deneuve again), not to mention a literal moneymaker in a donkey that doesn’t excrete the usual fertilizer, but instead gold and jewels. The king’s fortunes take a turn for the worse when he loses his wife to a sudden illness. Before she dies, he makes the unwise promise to only marry a woman more beautiful than she. When the king’s ministers force him to undertake another marriage to produce a male heir, the only woman who surpasses the dead queen in beauty is…his daughter. Being that this is a fairy tale, things work a bit differently, and the usual opposition to incest is brushed over fairly easily. The most amusing bit comes when the king asks his wise man whether the marriage would be wrong, and the wise man responds that all little girls want to marry their father, and that if the wise man had a daughter, he’d want to marry her. So there!

Daughter (she has no given name in the film) isn’t totally sure, though. She runs off to visit her godmother, the Lilac Fairy (Delphine Seyrig), who informs her that under no circumstances should she marry her father. She tells the daughter to stall him by asking for a series of increasingly elaborate dresses (the colors of weather, the moon, and then the sun), which he delivers accordingly. Finally, they must play their final card: the daughter asks for the skin of the prize donkey. “My banker?” exclaims the king. But he consents, and following this ultimate show of love, the Lilac Fairy tells daughter to flee, wearing the donkey skin as a disguise.
