Entertainment Reviews:
A film that despite its obvious religious overtones is much more about the hell of relationships based on commodities rather than sin.

No film I have ever seen has come so close to convulsing my entire being as has Au Hasard Balthazar.

Observer
The film is perhaps the director's most perfectly realised, and certainly his most moving.

Film Comment
I don't know if Au Hasard Balthazar is a masterpiece. I don't even know what it is exactly, aside from a rare and fascinating object. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 5/5 --
Bresson slowly transmits that it is Balthazar's example of loyalty, sustenance and grace that is noble and permanent - not the transient agendas of the people around him.

Product Description:
Often praised as one of the greatest films ever made, but long unavailable in the United States, AU HASARD BALTHAZAR is suffused with the same religious imagery and themes that mark much of director Robert Bresson's films. Like his masterpiece DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST, Bresson's AU HASARD BALTHAZAR combines religious allegory with a naturalistic, austere, and minimalist aesthetic style that matches his ascetic themes. The film tells the story of Marie, an unlucky farm girl, and her beloved donkey Balthazar. As Marie grows up, the pair become separated, but the film traces both their fates as they continue to live a parallel existence. Marie and Balthazar become martyrs, eventually taking the sins of others upon their own heads and finding transcendence in the process. AU HASARD BALTHAZAR is like Bresson's other works in that it seamlessly combines the naturalistic and the spiritual.
