"If one were looking for a perfectly realized film, Au Hasard Balthazar would be as likely a candidate as any." - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club

Friday, December 16 at 9pm | A profound masterpiece from one of the most revered filmmakers in the history of cinema, Robert Bresson’s AU HASARD BALTHAZAR follows the donkey Balthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motivations beyond his understanding. Through Bresson’s unconventional approach to composition, sound, and narrative, this simple story becomes a moving parable about purity and transcendence. Followed by Jerzy Skolimowski's EO. Double feature ticket: $20 General Admission / $10 Film Center Members / $5 Students. 

Donkey Double Feature! Join us for this special presentation of Robert Bresson's AU HASARD BALTHAZAR (1966) followed by Jerzy Skolimowski's EO (2022).
