Robert Bresson's masterpiece follows a much-abused donkey, Balthazar, whose life strangely parallels that of his owner, Marie. A beast of burden suffering the sins of man, Balthazar nevertheless nobly accepts his fate.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Unique submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:39am The good donkey. Enjoyed the structure of this and telling the movie from Balthazar's POV.

Great yet depressing movie submitted by Tassos on December 12, 2022, 9:04pm Rightly considered one of the best movies ever. Don't miss. Warning-some simulated animal cruelty.
