Au Hasard Balthazar
A masterpiece from one of one of the most admired filmmakers in the annals of theatre, Robert Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar follows the donkey Balthazar because he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motives beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of his very first keeper is truly a beast of burden, suffering humankind's sins. But despite his powerlessness, his fate is accepted by him . Through the unconventional way of makeup, sound, and narrative of Bresson, this narrative turns into a parable about purity and transcendence.
