Documentary (Betacam SP), color, sound, 52 min

Buridan’s Donkey offers extremely interesting discussion material. It is a must for everyone, from parents to educators, who wants to know what circles and spooks around in the heads of today’s adolescents. The video, a nit together, loose-leaf reading bundle, brings a picturesque reflection on the desperate and persistent quest for paradise; makes the connection point between the past and the present, between dream and deed, between desire and fear, between the adventurous and the predetermination, between a boy’s dream and a girl’s desire, and, shortly, the love/hate relation of these young people with society. Buridan’s Donkey has some aspects of an enriching picnic, a too crazy dressing party, a relaxed chat, an intelligent and unforeseen confrontation, but also aspects of a spiritual poem, a poetic diary and an unlikely wise essay.” Freddy Sartor, Film & Televisie, Dec. 1990
