The story of a beautiful Donkey, and shows how we all are like Balthazar, but society has formed us. It tells the story of the people around Balthazar, and how much society has expanded it's bounds of what a human being really is.

Balthazar represents ourselves stripped down to bare beauty, considering a donkey cannot be adapted into our society, it is a beyond brilliant way to translate his worlds into film. A most spiritual, intelligent, meaningful and beyond beautiful film from one of the greatest auteurs.

A perfect film. Bresson's genius has erupted. One of the 10 greatest films ever made.
