Review of Mouchette (1967) by Giuseppe P — 04 Aug 2012
Using little dialogue and relying heavily on his typically elliptical editing and intrusive sound, Bresson creates yet another stunning portrait of a life in turmoil. The tragedy of her life is heavy, yet in Mouchette we cannot escape the reality of grace: the ending music, along with a couple of brief glimmers during the film, complicate the tragedy in a productive, and even hopeful, fashion.
When nothing good is left in her life, mercy still finds Mouchette.
