If you loved Au Hasard Balthazar, try Mouchette
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Au Hasard 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.
