Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When Balthazar is shot he is facing to the right of the screen, and Gerard runs away from him indicating that the shooter is somewhere left of Balthazar. When Balthazar appears next he is bleeding from his right side.
The soundtrack for the DVD release was copied at 24-bit from the original 35mm optical soundtrack print.
The main actress of this movie, Anne Wiazemsky, also became an author; in her book "Jeune Fille", she describes the making of the movie.
Balthazar was an untrained donkey during most of the filming, which made Bressons's work a real challenge. The only scene for which the donkey was trained was the circus math trick.
