If you loved Mouchette, try Journal d'un curé de campagne
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Robert Bresson, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mouchette, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Journal d'un curé de campagne is
A Catholic version of Taxi Driver, without Travis Bickle's guns. A young, sickly priest arrives in a rural French village, where his asceticism alienates the locals. Bresson's stark, spiritual study of doubt is a landmark of French cinema.
