| | AU HASARD BALTHAZAR
Robert Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar follows the 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 man. "Whether that donkey is a superb film performer or whether it's just because it's a donkey, the screen is fully dilated. You can project yourself onto that donkey. And that's what I reckon is the task of a film performer: to invite the audience's projections." (Tilda Swinton) |
