Description

Au Hasard Balthazar(Blu-ray) is a profound and poetic masterpiece from revered French director Robert Bresson. Originally released in 1966, this emotionally resonant film follows the life of Balthazar, a donkey who passes through the hands of various owners—each revealing the spectrum of human behavior from compassion to cruelty. Through the eyes of this humble creature and his bond with Marie (Anne Wiazemsky), Bresson crafts a moving meditation on innocence, suffering, and grace. Beautifully restored by the Criterion Collection, this edition brings one of cinema’s most quietly powerful works to a new generation.Key Features:New high-definition restoration of Robert Bresson’s 1966 classicStarring Anne Wiazemsky in her breakout roleIncludes interviews with film scholar Donald RichieBonus documentary: Un Metteur en Order: Robert BressonFrench audio with English subtitlesRegion B Blu-ray formatPart of the Criterion Collection’s acclaimed world cinema lineupTitleAu Hasard Balthazar DirectorRobert BressonMain CastAnne Wiazemsky, Francois Lafarge, Philippe Asselin, Nathalie Joyaut, Walter Green, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Pierre Klossowski, Francois Sullerot, M.C.
