Bob Pr. Review of Au hasard Balthazar

Au hasard Balthazar (1966)

PLEASE read reviews of it first before seeing this

[5/10 · 28 November 2017]

I've just finished seeing this in a monthly foreign film series and wish I could give it two different ratings -- probably a "2" because I kept trying to figure out its plot and couldn't but also an "8" or "9" because it does show that in living, as Balthazar experienced in this film, many of us go through a number of very different experiences. Seeing this film without first having read any reviews or with any advance knowledge of its message, it was finally that latter view that I arrived at after giving up on trying to figure out "the plot."
