Rating: 6/10
Adorable self-abnegating donkey that serves as a symbol to mankind’s hardships,
Paralleling acquiescent Marie’s coming-of-age with abusive and delinquent lover Gérard,
But with Bresson’s dedication to no acting or emoting,
Without really seeing the significance as a religious parable,
Ultimately an overrated solemn ode to Christianity, nature, life and death.
