First off... Marie (Anne Wiazemsky!!!!!!) Man oh man, what a beauty. It was painful to watch her fall for the guy that abused her and then give herself to the old man (although I'm sure that part gives Victor and Patrick hope!).And her father... what a dope... he goes way beyond principles into immensly self (and family) destructive stubborness.
There's a lot of cruelty in this movie and, really, not much heart (except for the guy who's in love with Marie and the donkey itself). Still it's a marvelous film and a keen look at how flawed people are. There's an abruptness to much of it... time passing suddenly, scenes just being over without it feeling quite right.
I have to admit I was really hoping the hooligans would get there comeupance (like a stray bullet or something).
I like the religious themes... especially like that Bresson, being a Catholic, was heretical enough to show a donkey being baptized and saintly and saved... but then his life wasn't really so much harder than most of the people in the film. He was just more innocent.
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
Follow Ups:
No but it did give some to Besson! She told later he was in love...
Yes she is very erotical and that is without doubt also the director work.
It is an allegory.
Both start innocent and goes through live, both are going to have the pain of live marked in their flesh until redemption. ( Death )If this one is not enough for you try " Mouchette " but to of a kind may be too much...A friend of mine commit suicide after the second.
Call that redemption!PS: One may see // between the donkey and JC.
I am now eager to see more of his work. I've added Pickpocket to my list thanks to tin. I'll also add Mouchette.I can understand Bresson being in love with her... and that also explains some of the luminosity she has in this film (I'm sure it's hers but he saw it and captured it wonderfully).
She was only ever in five films and is also an author and was married to Godard for a while (but you probably already know that).
I do see the Donkey/JC thing but I also didn't really see it in regards to the film... meaning that aspect didn't come to life for me (though Balthazar as Saintly did).
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
Pickpocket is excellent, and do not forget to make a search here as most films have been much talk about.
