Synopsis
This heartbreaking yet thought-provoking drama tells the life story of a French donkey, but is really a grim, ironic reflection of human nature. The donkey's first experience with humans is as the much-loved pet of small children on a French farm, but it is subsequently abused and mistreated. ~ Iotis Erlewine, All Movie Guide

New video interview with film scholar Donald Richie
"Un metteur en ordre: Robert Bresson," a 1966 French television show about the film, featuring Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, and members of Balthazar's cast and crew
