Many film elements - e.g. the slow motion sequences - were an homage to Beauty and the Beast (1946) by Jean Cocteau with Jean Marais as the beast. This is also the reason why Jacques Demy cast Jean Marais as the king in his fairy tale adaptation.
Donkey Skin proved to be Demy's biggest success in France with a total of 2,198,576 admissions.
The "Poem from the Future" that Jean Marais quotes is about Orpheus. Jean Marais played Orpheus in Cocteau's film Orpheus (1950).
Demy originally envisaged Brigitte Bardot and Anthony Perkins in the lead roles.
This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #718.
