If you loved Zum Beispiel Balthazar, try Mouchette
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Robert Bresson, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zum Beispiel Balthazar, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mouchette is
Diary of a Country Priest, but make it a girl. The put-upon Mouchette faces down poverty and cruelty in her village. Bresson's bleak parable offers no easy redemption, only a stark vision of rural hardship.
