Au Hasard Balthazar (1966)

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.

First saw in 2005. The most emotionally wrenching movie I have ever seen. Now [u]may[/u] be my choice as the "best." "He's a saint."

A beautiful, lyrical, inexplicably, deeply spiritual film. Who would have ever guessed that deep truths about redemption and salvation could come from the life and death of a donkey? Such is the power of Robert Bresson in this film.

Touching, yet cruel, this film illustrates the beauty of nature, the pureness of the animal soul, and the total depravity of human beings.

Bresson used to get his actors to say the dialogue over and over until there is no 'acting' left. This makes his film possess a transcendent emotional quality since we are not told what to feel and as a result we gain a deep seated empathy towards the characters by reflecting on their circumstances. In this sense the Donkey is the perfect vehicle for this Bresonian masterpiece. The central character's acceptance of its fate in which it has no control becomes profoundly moving.

No person would willingly be cruel to other people. There are only victims of innocent cruelty -- like Balthazar.
