Au hasard Balthazar
CriticsCritics: 99
AudienceAudience: 7.6
A young woman and a donkey she once cared for endure hardship as their lives unfold in parallel. Passed between owners, the donkey faces neglect and cruelty, while the young woman struggles with painful relationships and the harshness of rural life.
You may appreciate this if you enjoy patient, poetic dramas about suffering and compassion, especially Pickpocket or A Man Escaped; Not for you if you need brisk pacing, clear explanations, or easy viewing.
