Review of Au Hasard Balthazar (1966) by Derek W — 01 Sep 2007

I found this for the most part to be very unpleasant...something about a donkey as a metaphor didnt click with me...i could only feel disdain for this creature and could careless about the peoples lives he wondered into but only disgust at the abuse they subject on this beast of burden.

..this is the most disappointing film ive seen from Bresson and has that same see saw pacing as Pickpocket that just got on my nerves and it has everything to do with the editing choices...still the film had some strong moments but mostly just blah ones.
