Au Hasard Balthazar

A profound masterpiece that has not lost one bit of its sheer power. Through a donkey who's condemned to a life or burden and suffering like most its kind in the world, Bresson shows the nobleness of the animal compared to humans who always use and abuse the animal for their benefit while the animal bears it all. It's a heartbreaking film in the light of all the animal abuse that's still going on in the world. Humans may never learn. Bresson's film is an staggering accomplishment in the world of cinema. The beauty of the film is that will mean different things to different people. YRCinema's covering of films on DVD.
