Mouchette offers evidence of misery and cruelty. She is found everywhere: wars, concentration camps, tortures, assassinations.” - Robert Bresson
Fans of Bresson’s work will find him at his finest here. Mouchette is as pure as any film to come out of the 60′s.The young girl, who as all Bresson characters are not professionals, does an amazing job just being who she is: an innocent young girl.
This movie is sad to the max, specially since the victim is this disprotected young person. We can identify with her all the time, with her isolation, her giving herself for the good of others. Her sacrifice. Her solitude. She's almost a Christlike figure. Bresson admitted during the shooting of this film that he certainly was a believer to the question of whether it was a religious film.
