Au Hasard Balthazar (Criterion Collection Region 1) - Bresson, Robert
Releasedatum: 14 juni 2005
A profound masterpiece from one of the most revered filmmakers in the history of cinema, director Robert Bresson’s Au hasard Balthazar follows a much abused donkey, Balthazar, whose life strangely parallels that of his first owner, Marie. A beast of burden, suffering the sins of man, Balthazar nevertheless nobly accepts his fate. Through Bresson’s unconventional approach to composition, sound, and narrative, this seemingly simple story becomes a moving religious parable of purity and transcendence.
