MOUCHETTE

Original French 47 inch x 63 inch Poster for the 1967 Robert Bresson Drama MOUCHETTE, based on the novel by Georges Bernanos and starring Nadine Nortier, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Marie Cardinal, Paul Hebert, Jean Vimenet, Marie Susini, Suzanne Huguenin, Marine Trichet and Raymonde Chabrun.

Mouchette tells the story of a girl entering adolescence, the daughter of a bullying alcoholic father and ailing mother set in a rural French village. One stormy night Mouchette’s world changes.

It is a coming of age film which Bresson portrays in his own unique style. According to Bresson, “Mouchette offers evidence of misery and cruelty. She is found everywhere: wars, concentration camps, tortures, assassinations.”
