Callum Turner actor

“Au Hasard Balthazar. I'm so sorry for anyone who speaks French and they had to listen to that, but this is about a donkey and it just follows this donkey and you really just fall in love with the journey and you and you want to look after the donkey. It's one of the most extraordinary movies I've ever seen.”

Yorgos Lanthimos director

Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes actor

“Michael Haneke’s... Favorite film of his, named... Au Hasard Balthazar. Do you want it? Okay. Yeah.”

Wim Wenders director

“And if you just can watch one last movie, I'll take it with you to this, to the island, the proverbial island. It's gonna be Bresson. You can take Au Hasard Balthazar, but this is holy territorial filmmaking.... Taking Mouchette and Balthazar in Blu-Ray, I have Balthazar as DVD. Of course I have it. I had it as VHS. Now I'm getting away with it for the third time.”
