more like a renaissance painting to me than a film. although the biblical references were lost on me the gesture seemed more important than the emotion. the position of the hands and the precisely observed fragments of life are captured in the frame while faces remain almost expressionless. the characters also seem like allegories representing good and evil as the donkey balthasar placidly watches a girl vacillate between the forces of them both. the donkey is called a saint in the film- and his patience as he is first baptized and the beaten and finally shot to death is a story that does have the epic scale of a great mans journey that will become an icon of suffering and sacrifice.
