Curiosidades

Parking is a French fantasy and musical film from 1985. It was directed and written by Jacques Demy, starring Francis Huster, Laurent Malet, and Jean Marais.

Production

The original title of the film was Monsieur Orphée.

Eurydice is played by a Japanese actress; Jacques Demy conceived of her relationship with Orpheus as a tribute to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Eurydice is also a sculptor like Yoko Ono. Demy also wanted to highlight the singularity of the romance between Orpheus and Eurydice by choosing someone “rare” and “from elsewhere.”

The film experienced some budget problems, not having obtained the advance on receipts. The fame of Jacques Demy in Japan, and the fact that the main actress is Japanese, however, made it possible to pre-sell the film there.

Parking was an old project of Jacques Demy, who planned to film it with David Bowie. The latter not being available, Demy had vainly requested Johnny Hallyday to play the main role. After considering abandoning the project, Demy finally took it back, encouraged by a producer, who suggested hiring Francis Huster to play the role of Orpheus.
