MOUCHETTE
Robert Bresson | FRA | 1967 | 81'
Mouchette is one of Robert Bresson's last films. Based on a novel by Georges Bernanos, the title Mouchette reports to its main character, a young girl from rural France who constantly suffers all kinds of injustices, including those committed by her own alcoholic father, as well as by the cold, hostile environment in which she lives. Mouchette, like other Bresson films, presents a tragic, often pessimistic worldview, and is shot with the director's trademark aesthetic values, based on the denaturalization of actors, elliptical struture and emphasis on sound. During Sight and Sound's 2012 poll, Manoel de Oliveira picked Mouchette as one of the ten best films in the history of cinema."
