The film parallels the mistreatment and downfall of two innocents: a young farmer’s daughter who is seduced by the leader of a group of black-jacketed delinquents; and the Christ-like Balthazar, a donkey that is passed from master to master, endures a seemingly endless cycle of cruelty.
Transcending its austere aesthetic with sublime heights of emotion, Robert Bresson’s holy heartbreaker is devoted to two saintly figures. No one forgets the guileless face of young Anne Wiazemsky or the poor donkey who goes by the name of Balthazar after watching this masterpiece of modern cinema.
