EO(bcSunday)

The world is a mysterious place when seen through the eyes of an animal. EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes, meets good and bad people on his life’s path, experiences joy and pain, endures the wheel of fortune randomly turning his luck into disaster and his despair into unexpected bliss. But not even for a moment does he lose his innocence.

As a homage to Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar, legendary Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski renders the mistreated donkey tale with a non-anthropocentric approach, emphasizing post-human sensitivity with a poetic touch. Winner of Cannes Jury Prize. Nominated for Best International Feature Film at Academy Awards.
