AU HASARD BALTHAZAR, 1966

France, Sweden | DCP, Black-White, 95’ | French
Director: Robert Bresson
Cast: Anne Wiazemsky, Walter Green, François Lafarge

A timeless masterpiece by revered director Robert Bresson, this film follows Balthazar, a donkey, as he changes hands among various owners. The motivations of these owners—some kind, others cruel—are beyond Balthazar's comprehension. The donkey's life parallels that of its first owner, Marie, a true "beast of burden" who endures the sins of men. Despite her powerlessness, she nobly accepts her fate. Bresson's unique composition, sound design, and narration elevate this simple story into a poignant parable of purity and love.
