Review of Mouchette (1967) by Ivona P — 19 May 2012
Mouchette is supposed to be a suffering martyr of some kind, but â~m not sure why. Yes, the family is poor, mum is sick and dad goes out at night to deal in contraband, but is that enough to warp your mind and deaden your soul? Why does she refuse to sing in school and throw mud at her schoolmates? Bresson is just sloppy here: a few more psychological angle shots wouldnâ(TM)t have been amis, just to really set the background on Mouchetteâ(TM)s despair.
