Our take

Among the very best of Robert Bresson’s films, Mouchette is a supreme example of the refined, enormously evocative style of its filmmaker: a cathartic purge of emotion, a tragedy in its most fundamental sense. An unforgettable Nadine Nortier leads this profoundly poignant, affecting film.
