The donkey is the only one who can act in this movie!

I know this topic title is a little bit provocative but I really didn't like the way actors acted in this movie, and especially the way Bresson directed them. I think it also happens in other Bresson movies. Bresson is known for chosing non-professional actors and to direct them that way, but it looks like totally unatural.
The tone of their voice, the way they act seem totally cold, distant, the way you would never do in real life. When they speak, it sounds very strange.
In addition to that, some actions and events seem also completely strange and unrealistic.

I'm sure the director wanted to achieve something in doing that way, but it failed completely to make me evolved in what I was seeing, or even moved by the movie.
I can understand people find this movie so great, but in the same way I keep wondering because I found it too boring and not moving at all.

I tried to whatch other Bresson movies ('Un condamné à mort s'est échappé' and 'Les Dames du bois de Boulogne') but it was even worse and I had to stop at half an hour of movie.


Does anyone else agree with me?
