Bresson's greatest masterpiece, one of the best films ever made, is an astonishing simple tale about innocence and purity in the harsh world of reality. It's a profoundly heart-breaking human-nature drama about animal as the holy one. This stark parable features a donkey in rural France who is given the name of Balthazar (one of the Three Wise Men) by his gentle first keeper Marie, daughter of a recalcitrant teacher prone to making the same mistakes over and over. As Balthazar's passed onto different owners he will be a witness to mankind's cruelty as well as being a victim. Balthazar takes mankind's ignorance in with a reserved calm and silence, not understanding what is happening but remaining grounded in his pure nature as a noble beast of burden throughout.
