Mouchette | Ciné-Salon | May 7, 2021


Mouchette

Directed by Robert Bresson • 1967 • France
Starring Nadine Nortier, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Marie Cardinal

Robert Bresson plumbs great reservoirs of feeling with MOUCHETTE, one of the most searing portraits of human desperation ever put on film. Faced with a dying mother, an absent, alcoholic father, and a baby brother in need of care, the teenage Mouchette seeks solace in nature and daily routine, a respite from her economic and pubescent turmoil. An essential work of French filmmaking, Bresson’s hugely empathetic drama elevates its trapped protagonist into one of the cinema’s great tragic figures (synopsis by Criterion Collection).
