Robert Bresson's follow up to his masterpiece "Au Hasard Balthazar " is less impressive due to the performances of the non-professional actors, specially Nadine Nortier who plays the title character. Bresson's sparse and simple style that worked wonders with the previous film, seems less powerful. As with the previous film, Bresson shows through the title character her entrapment by the circumstances of life. The teenage Mouchette doesn't have an easy life with a sick mother, abusive father and is constantly plagued by problems in her daily life. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
