Balthazar

A Silver Bear award winning short feature about a man's head - "a sort of mutilated Teiresia" - from the depths of time who knows the past and predicts the future. Having a gift of ubiquity which allows him to save the skin of a young soldier fleeing opposing troops

Directed by Christophe Fraipont, Balthazar leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Paul Comart, Christian Crahay, François Sikivie — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
