l'ultimo film di Wojciech Has è sempre un gran bel film, non è il migliore, ma sempre un bel vedere.
attori bravissimi, Emmanuelle Riva e Michael Lonsdale i più famosi.
la storia è ambientata in un tempi bui (quando l'Inquisizione era ancora in salute) nei quali Balthazar Kober inizia a conoscere la vita, affronta sempre nuove avventure.
buona visione, se lo trovate - Ismaele
An exceptionally picturesque fairytale story about
16-year-old Baltazar's journey of initiation around renaissance Europe. The
journey is also a search for answers to the key questions - about the meaning
of life and the most important values, on the philosophical level of union with
the absolute and transition from life to death. The young, 16-year-old Baltazar
is the son of doctor Sigismund. During a walk, he meets a stranger on the
embankment. Much to his surprise, he realizes it is archangel Gabriel, who
orders him to walk through the purifying fire. The flames do not do Baltazar
any harm, and thus begins his amazing journey to Jerusalem. The boy is admitted
to a theological seminary. It turns out that thanks to his exceptional
sensitivity he can contact the nether world. Baltazar finds himself surrounded
by spirits of the dead, including troublesome fallen angel Flamand, who is the
personification of Satan. On his way back from his father's funeral, Baltazar
meets extraordinary traveler Pappagallo. Pappagallo believes that theology
constitutes a threat to the boy's mind and takes him to a camp of comedians as
an antidote. This is where Baltazar meets beautiful lute player Rosa. In the
morning, it turns out that the camp is empty. Baltazar decides to leave the
seminary and spends the night in an inn suggested to him by Flamand. His mother
comes to him in a vision. She tells him that he helped a man sentenced to death
by burning at the stake by the inquisition. He also meets alchemist Fryderyk,
who tells him that he has been chosen for great things. With the inquisition on
his back, Baltazar leaves the inn and goes to Venice. Once there, he meets a
monk called Strozzi, who hides him in Garganella's cathouse. The monk takes
Baltazar to Rosa and her friends, who are also in Venice. Baltazar and Rosa
ride a gondola through the Venetian canals. The oarsman is wearing a carnival
costume of death.
