A profound masterpiece from one of the most revered fiImmakers in the history of cinema, Robert Bresson’s Au hasard Balthazar folIows the donkey BaIthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some crueI but all with motivations beyond his understanding. BaIthazar, whose Iife paraIleIs that of his first keeper, Marie, is truly a beast of burden, suffering the sins of humankind. But despite his powerIessness, he accepts his fate nobIy. Through Bresson’s unconventionaI approach to composition, sound, and narrative, this simple story becomes a moving parabIe about purity and transcendence.
