THE BRESSON SONG

Robert Bresson made a film is ’66 called Balthazar.
There’s a young girl who loves a bad boy but the
Donkey is the STARting with a furry head and feeding
Ending with him shot among some sheep.

Robert Bresson he makes a film just like a caveman tells a tale
Nothing but bare facts and simple actions Man Escapes from Jail
Another guy is a pickpocket who recognizes love when it’s too late.

There’s a sickly priest who’s congregation mostly hates his guts.
Son of alcoholics he’s a self destructive pious putz who’s congregation
Thinks he’s nuts
You know he’s going to wind up dead. His diet’s only wine and bread.

Mouchette is a film about a grumpy girl who throws dirt at her foes.
She rides the bumper cars and dad slaps her when she stares at a beau she likes.
She hangs out with a drunkard. Who thinks he’s killed and needs an alibi

Lancelot du Loc has crazy knights with noisy armor on.
Must have been the inspiration for Monty Python and the Holy Grail
It’s so laughably dumb and often he shoots only from the waist on down.
