FILM FILINGS 3.6.23
This edition of Film Filings covers: a Jean Renoir theater experience at Nashville’s Belcourt Theater, my film-viewing habits of the last four months, an excursion in British Folk Horror with Christopher Witty in the U.K., Nathan Gilmore’s reviews of two European classics, and a peek at a cool film that is now in production!
Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar
Roger Ebert called the film Bresson’s “finest prayer." Other Bresson films have been more dramatic, more exciting and more viscerally involving—for me, personally, A Man Escaped—but none more spiritually. Balthazar stands apart in its moral and spiritual rigor.
