Au Hasard, Balthasar (PG) Plot As he passes between various owners, a donkey named Balthazar is alternately adored and abused in a cycle which mirrors that experienced by Marie, the farmer's daughter who named him. Verdict If you can see past the heavy-handed religious overtones you will encounter an inspired and deeply intelligent Bresson classic.
