Negative Positive
Title: At last on dvd
Review: Thank you criterion for restoring and releasing some of the masterworks of this great director - i have waited in such anticipation for mouchette..Mouchette, it has been said, is a crossroads among Bresson's works.. Once again he returns to another catholic - the author Georges Bernanos (diary of a country priest).He made a film that equals his previous one, 'au hasard balthazar', in its immediacey and subtlety and moreover, deep sadness...Mouchette is the ultimate Bressonian figure - she does not fit in with her society- and bears many hardships with almost christ like perserverence.. But ultimately, like christ, she succombs to the evils of this society.. Her suicide, while it might be considered wrong by some, is the ultimate statement of self.. here.. she is, like Balthazar, saintly and pure..Bresson's cinema is timeless and haunting.. this is one of his greatest films..
