Review of Au Hasard Balthazar (1966) by Andy P — 31 May 2015
Bresson invests Au Hasard Balthazar with a remarkable intensity that is only enhanced by the stark and austere visual style. It's a tremendously powerful allegory on human cruelty and suffering and a study in saintliness, with the eponymous donkey used as a symbol of virtue and salvation.
It's one of the most transcendent art house films of the 20th century.
