Au Hasard Balthazar

1966 · 96 min Drama
7.5 / 10 · TMDB

The story of a donkey Balthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motivations beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of his first keeper, Marie, is truly a beast of burden, suffering the sins of humankind. But despite his powerlessness, he accepts his fate nobly.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

"Наудачу, Бальтазар" (1966) tells its story without decoration: humanity here is weakness and strength at once.

If you want cinema that leaves a mark — not entertains, but reaches — this is it.

For viewers for whom it matters that something stays after the credits.

Director: Robert Bresson
