Au Hasard Balthazar
A deep masterpiece from a few of the most admired film makers in the annals of theatre, Robert Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar follows exactly the donkey Balthazar as he could be passed from owner to owner, some type and some cruel but with motives beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of the first keeper, Marie, is a monster of burden, enduring the sins of human kind. But despite his powerlessness, his fate is accepted by him . Throughout Bresson's unconventional method of makeup, sound, and story, this very simple story becomes a parable about purity and transcendence.
