Au hasard Balthazar // dir. Robert Bresson

Tilda Swinton:
The only film that I’ve ever seen that’s made me want to be an actress is a film by Robert Bresson called Au hasard Balthazar about a donkey.

What was so inspiring?

Tilda Swinton:
It’s the greatest performance you’ve ever seen.

The donkey?

Tilda Swinton:
Absolutely. It does no acting and that’s got to be a good performance.
