If you loved Lancelot of the Lake, try Au Hasard Balthazar

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Bresson, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lancelot of the Lake, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Au Hasard Balthazar is

Balthazar meets The 400 Blows. A donkey passes through various owners. Carries existential weight of 60s French cinema.
