Review of Au Hasard Balthazar (1966) by Pete L — 20 Jun 2013
In the Parisian countryside, a donkey named Balthazar is passed between owners, only one of which -- a young girl -- treats him kindly. This French New Wave masterpiece is stylistically restrained and thematically boundless.
A devastating tragedy of human indifference, Bresson's incomparable film is furthermore an extraordinarily rich Christian allegory.
