If you loved Mouchette, try Les Dames du bois de Boulogne
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 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 Les Dames du bois de Boulogne is
Bresson’s drawing-room games come with hidden switchblades. A haughty widow orchestrates a cruel romance between her former flame and a woman with a past, convinced she’s directing a comedy of manners. The punchline, as ever, is on her.
