Mouchette
12:30, 4 & 7:30pm
Dir. Robert Bresson, 1970. B&W. 78 min. 
With Nadine Norbert, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Marie Cardinal.
In French with English subtitles.
In a career marked with films like Diary of a Country Priest and Au Hasard Balthazar, it might be easy to overlook Bresson’s quietly devastating Mouchette. The title character, a young girl with an alcoholic father and dying mother, is left to fend for herself against the many indignities of life. A chance encounter in the woods with a poacher, Arsène, leads to an uneasy relationship as she becomes his alibi and object of affection. Mouchette remains a small masterpiece in Bresson’s towering canon.
In French with English subtitles unless otherwise noted
