Review of Mouchette (1967) by Brad S — 30 Sep 2016
What an excellent film from the great Robert Bresson. It is a simple story, effectively a tragedy, that follows the story of a young girl who is an outcast. her mother is dying, her father is a useless drunk, and she has a baby brother who needs to be cared for.
The way Bresson shoots the film and tells the story really involves you in it. It appears simply told, but there is so much going only from choice and use of music, to sounds effects, to the things happening that Bresson chooses not to show.
It is the work of a Master, and I highly recommend it for serious film fans.
