Trying to work out if my spirit can actually hack watching it. Tearing up at a commentary of it is probably not a good sign - @Friday, July 27, 2018 1:49 PM

SPOILER ALERT in the video. Shameless for something uploaded by Criterion. Then, again, some would argue it's shameless enough that Richie was asked to comment on a Bresson masterwork. Some embarrassments never cease. - @Sunday, March 6, 2016 12:17 AM

The donkey is the greatest animal actor ever, he deserves a real credit for this movie! . - @Friday, February 20, 2015 4:33 PM

When people are faced with challenging movies, they either either engage or shut down, depending on how seriously they take cinema. I totally understand why people fall asleep during Bresson films. Because they've never seen anything like it, their knee-jerk reaction is apathetic aversion. - @Thursday, September 5, 2013 1:14 AM

Ok. Look up "Bresson (on Cinema) " on youtube, listen closely how his name is pronounced at the beginning. - @Thursday, March 7, 2013 10:26 AM
