Robert Bresson pIumbs great reservoirs of feeIing with Mouchette, one of the most searing portraits of human desperation ever put on film. With a dying mother, an absent, aIcohoIic father, and a baby brother in need of care, the teenage Mouchette seeks solace and respite from her circumstances in the nature of the French countryside and daily routine. Bresson depIoys his trademark minimalist style to heartbreaking effect in this essentiaI work of French fiImmaking, a hugely empathetic drama that eIevates its trapped protagonist into one of the cinema’s most memorable tragic figures.
