  No Perks but a Lot of Fun
Anne Wiazemsky was a 17-year-old nonprofessional when Robert Bresson asked her to play the leading role in "Au Hasard Balthazar," the 1966 film that is now widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of that French director.
Wiazemsky met Bresson through the actress Florence Delay, who (under the name of Florence Carrez) had played the central role in Bresson's 1962 film "Trial of Joan of Arc." Bresson cast Ms.
Wiazemsky immediately, and given her ethereal, angelic beauty, it is not difficult to see why he replaced another actress who had already been selected for the role.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Au Hasard Balthazar
Cast: Anne Wiazemsky, François Lafarge, Philippe Asselin, Nathalie Joyaut, Walter Green, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Pierre Klossowski, François Sullerot, Marie-Claire Fremont, Jean Rémignard and Balthazar the Donkey.
Balthazar begins with a sonic gesture of equanimity between human concerns and the animal kingdom when, under the credits, the music of Schubert is brought to an abrupt halt to allow a donkey diva to have her crack at accompanying the scroll.
It provides the blueprint for the rest of the film, in which a young French farmgirl, Marie (Anne Wiazemsky), and her companion donkey Balthazar grow up together, learn the rules of the game separately, and ultimately fall victim at the hands of vice.

 dOc DVD Review: Au hasard Balthazar (1966)
One of the first images of the fated animal is one of innocence: the young Balthazar drinks milk from his mother, and is spotted by two children.
Marie (Anne Wiazemsky) and Jacques (Walter Green) are enamored by the future beast of burden, and promptly take him home.
Even the performances, which are nearly catatonic at times, are resistant to ratings; from the doe-eyed Anne Wiazemsky to the slimy François Lafarge, they remain effective.

 An engrossing view of sin, sainthood - The Boston Globe
Balthazar is bought as a foal by rich man vacationing in the village, and as his young son Jacques plays with the donkey and with Marie, the local schoolteacher's daughter, we are given a brief, problematic glimpse of Eden.
Jacques then returns to the city, and Marie grows up into a tremulous teenage innocent Anne Wiazemsky, the closest the movies have ever come to Vermeer) drawn helplessly to local bad boy Gerard (Francois Lafarge).
Gerard's not much of a rebel by Hollywood standards -- he's the leader of a moped gang, for one thing -- but his sadistic streak is considerable and deeply felt.

 Movie Info for La Chinoise on MSN Movies
Director Jean-Luc Godard, whose advocacy of Maoism bordered on intoxication, infuriated many traditionalist critics with his swiftly paced satire La Chinoise.
Godard's then-wife Anne Wiazemsky plays a philosophy student who commiserates with the four members of her campus Maoist group.
They are so taken by the external trappings of their cause--the posters, the Little Red Books, the by-rote chantings--that they seem not to grasp the true meaning of their political persuasion.

 AU HASARD BALTHAZAR previously at Film Forum in New York City
Years pass and the now-teenaged Marie (Anne Wiazemsky, later Godard’s wife and star, and today a celebrated author) finds herself drifting into more and more destructive situations, including involvement with a local juvenile delinquent; while Balthazar moves from owner to owner, some relatively kind, some cruel, some drunkenly careless.
In a body of work known for its purity and transcendence, Balthazar is perhaps the most wrenching of Bresson's visions, voted 19 in the 2002 BFI Sight and Sound critics and filmmakers poll of all-time great films, and 9 in the Village Voice's poll of the greatest films of the 20th century.

Mistreated by most of his owners, he accepts life's miseries in a movie Jean-Luc Godard famously called "the world in an hour and a half." Anne Wiazemsky is the French villager who, as a child, named Balthazar.
