In this podcast episode, Austin Lugo and Andrew Harp discuss the films "Au Hasard Balthazar" and "Eo" and their similarities and differences. They speculate on the sudden rise in popularity of "EO" and compare it to the film "Parasite." They explore the themes and focuses of the films, with "Au Hasard Balthazar" being more about the people and their suffering, while "Eo" is more concerned with the donkey itself. They also discuss the personification of the donkey in the films and the emotional impact of both movies. Austin shares his concerns about animal treatment and advocates for more humane practices.

Donkey Variations: Jerzy Skolimowski's EO This week Mr. Chavez and I travel to Cinematic Poland for Jerzy Skolimowski's EO - a beautiful and touching examination of the world through a donkey's eyes. Pain, Suffering, Beauty, and Resilience inspired by Bresson's Au Hasard Balthazar, but with a modern vision. This is an inspired piece of cinema, one that Ibrahim and I are thrilled to introduce to you and excited to talk about. Take a listen and let us know what you think. For reference, you can find EO streaming on Amazon Prime for a small rental fee. Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.
Beast of Burden: Robert Bresson's Au Hasard Balthazar - WatchThis W/RickRamos This week finds Mr. Chavez and myself continuing our dive into films with great reputations and few viewings. Bresson's 1966 French Classic, Au Hasard Balthazar, looks at life through the eyes of a donkey as it moves through the world being loved, abused, championed, worked, and - finally - sacrificed. A touching and beautifully story about humanity told in a profoundly emotional manner. As Mr. Chavez says, "I challenge someone to watch this movie and to be like, 'Well It's just about a f****** stupid donkey.'" There's so much more to unwrap, and for true fans of Cinema (and World Cinema in particular), Bresson's story is about the struggle found in purpose, love, and suffering. This is a truly beautiful film that has found legions of fans since its release over sixty years ago. We are proud to present Au Hasard Balthazar on this week's episode. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many & Continued Thanks.
Nick finally gets Mike to watch the new donkey movie, EO: a new interpretation of an old classic they both love: Au Hasard Balthazar. Two special guests join the hosts: Jackie and Ryan. The group talks interpretation of EO and the barrier to entry to Bresson's minimalist directing style. Does EO deserve a place on the Mount Rushmore of film donkeys?
Jerzy Skolimowski's EO is probably not the first film to premiere at Cannes, land on a ton of annual Top Ten lists, and then get nominated for Best International Feature at the Academy Awards. But it's the first movie to do all that AND be about – and starring – a donkey. Comedian Ashley Ray joins us to talk about our silent protagonist's adventure across Europe. Then, a certain bear joins the Hall of Excellence and we pick some other non-human POVs that would make good cinema.What's Good:Drea - Hearing the Spirit Awards were accessibleAshley - Extreme SistersAlonso - Kristen Lopez, But Have You Read the Book?ITIDICNew Ninja Turtles MovieLenny Kravitz to Sing Oscars “In Memoriam” SegmentEEAAOO Wins a LOT of Spirit Awards (watch The Daniels' speech)Staff PicksDrea - BruiserAshley - Three WaysAlonso- Framing AgnesCheck out TV, I Say with Ashley RayWith:Drea ClarkAlonso DuraldeAshley RayProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher
From Orwell and Shakespeare back to Greek myth, Aesop, and early Christianity: Matthew Sweet and guests look at a cultural history of the donkey. EO, a film out in UK cinemas this month, follows the life of a donkey born in a Polish circus. New Generation Thinker Lisa Mullen is an expert on George Orwell and lecturer in film at the University of Cambridge Lucy Grig is Senior Lecturer in Roman History at the University of Edinburgh Faith Burden is Executive Director of Equine Operations at the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski EO is inspired by Robert Bresson's 1966 film Au Hasard Balthazar and is showing at venues across the UK organised by the BFI. Producer: Luke Mulhall
Today I want to talk to you about an animal who has, over the centuries, gone from exalted to vilified. ...an animal many people have never met but one who has been much maligned and humiliated on film, in literature, and in our language. ...an animal who is affected by the daily choices we make but who is invisible in many ways. ...an animal you may never think of, an animal you wouldn't think would be part of the animal agriculture business. ...an animal I hope you have the privilege of meeting someday. Today I want to tell you about the burden of burros and the plight of donkeys and explain why they mean so much to me and why they represent all animals at the mercy of humans. In this episode, I also share two films about donkeys, Au Hasard Balthazar by Robert Bresson — one of my favorite films of all time — and EO by Jerzy Skolimowski, a film inspired by Balthazar and packed with as much power as its predecessor. A version of this episode originally aired in 2007 but was in much need of an update. This is not just a rebroadcast; it is a re-worked and re-recorded episode about these magnificent and misunderstood animals. ------- Support this podcast today at Patreon.com/ColleenPatrickGoudreau Visit my website: JoyfulVegan.com Join me on an all-inclusive vegan trip: JoyfulVeganTrips.com AFFILIATE PARTNERS: Nama Juicer — Use this link and coupon code COLLEEN10 and get 10% off my favorite juicer.

You cn't help but compare the two so I really wantd to bring Daniel back to chat about them since he first introduced to Balthazar over a year ago.

Our 10 Year Celebration continues with one of the movies Dustin has mentioned the most through the years, Au Hasard Balthazar.

Jackie and Greg duke it out with each other in the name of Robert Bresson for their episode on AU HASARD BALTHAZAR. Topics of discussion include Bresson's aversion to "acting", the film as a parable of the Christ story, how divisive Bresson is as a filmmaker, and whether the film goes too far or not far enough to illustrate its main themes. #16 on Sight & Sound's "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew Cox
Am Anfang herrschte noch das Paradies, die Welt war heile, als der Esel Balthazar getauft wird. Doch kurz nach der Taufe hat sich ein Kindstod ereignet, die junge Marie und Balthasar, die parallel eine Passionsgeschichte durchlaufen, dienen als Projektionsflächen, als Nutztiere, die auf verschiedene Menschen und Stationen treffen, um dort ausgebeutet oder misshandelt zu werden, um dem omnipräsenten Verfall Erlösung gegenüberzustellen. Ein schwer zugänglicher, deprimierender wie transzendentaler Film. Ps. Gegen Ende des Films spricht Lukas in Anlehnung an die Schmuggelware, die Balthasar transportieren soll, von den drei Prinzen als Referenz. Dies ist ein kleiner Versprecher, gemeint sind natürlich die heiligen drei Könige, die Jesus nach dessen Geburt mit beschenken.
We're not the only ones grazing for this episode as we take a look at an intriguing new trend in cinema: the proliferance of feature-length ‘observational' documentaries about livestock. Victor Kossakovsky's GUNDA (2021) and Andrea Arnold's COW (2021) wring tension, drama and political impetus out of paying £15 to watch a farm animal's daily life projected 60-feet tall with strikingly different aesthetic approaches, prompting us to revisit a true classic of our time in Michelangelo Frammartino's Hircine masterpiece LE QUATTRO VOLTE (2010), as well as other cinematic precedents by Georges Franju, Robert Bresson and Béla Tarr. Frammartino's new film IL BUCO, his first in twelve years and a truly awe-inspiring development of his style, previewed at the London Film Festival last year and will be released by New Wave Films on June 10th. The soundtrack features a cover of ‘Reincarnation' by Roger Miller. Select filmography: Cow (2021) Gunda (2020) Le Quattro Volte (2010) The Metamorphosis of Birds (2020) The Turin Horse (2011) River (2021) Au Hasard Balthazar (1966) Le Sang des bêtes (1949) Subscribe to Film Graze on your podcast app of choice and leave us a positive rating and review if you enjoy the show. twitter.com/FilmGraze letterboxd.com/Film_Graze/ instagram.com/film.graze/ Produced by Sam Storey

Celebrating 55 years since its release in 1966, Au Hasard Balthazar is considered by many to be one of the greatest films of all time, and yes, we've been long overdue to tackle a film from the one and only Robert Bresson, whose work has influenced filmmakers of all stripes for over half a century. The film stars Anne Wiazemsky a young French woman who develops a striking bond with a donkey she's known since its birth, and we see a chronicling of her hardships as they parallel the inhumane treatment of Balthazar, a creature representing innocence in its rawest form.

Bellezza e bizzarria - il cinema insolito secondo Goffredo Fofi
Goffredo Fofi racconta "Au hasard Balthazar" (1966) di Robert Bresson.
Take it to the bank! We dug deep into the pit of the SINERFAMICALS archive for this gem, recorded over a year ago and nearly lost: an hour of absolutely scalding takes and forceful zingers about the saddest animal movie ever made: Robert Bresson’s 1966 bleak as hell AU HASARD BALTHAZAR about a donkey named Balthazar who is repeatedly tortured. This movie is very artful and confusing. We didn’t understand it, and we didn’t like how it made us feel.
The boys check out Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW, then put on their berets and sad 1960's French faces for AU HASARD BALTHAZAR for Does It Hold Up. All that, plus an all-animal Speed Round and a hastily thought out Cure For COVID. We gettin' sophisticated in this piece!
In this episode Tom and Stephen get a little sad in this episode. 2020 has been tough, just like the Criterion movie they review: Au Hasard Balthazar and their main topic: documentaries! So come along with us as we cry!

WIENER-DOG is a dark, starkly funny story of a single dog and the many different people she touches over her short lifetime. Man’s best friend starts out teaching a young boy some contorted life lessons before being taken in by a compassionate vet tech named Dawn Wiener. Dawn reunites with someone from her past and sets off on a road trip. After leaving Dawn, Wiener-Dog encounters a floundering film professor, as well as an embittered elderly woman and her needy granddaughter—all longing for something more. Solondz’s perversely dark comedy offers an appallingly honest look at the American experience, brought to life by its all-star cast. As to be expected, WIENER-DOG has all the characteristics of the Solondz oeuvre — quick wit, dark tragedy, familiar characters, and an incredible ensemble cast—but the film’s brainchild also found inspiration in classic films.
