Episode 262: Robert Bresson is the Master of Minimalism - Mouchette & L'Argent

from Silver Screen Video · host Jacob and Jonathan

In this episode, we explore the stark yet deeply affecting world of Robert Bresson through two of his most powerful films: Mouchette (1967) and L’Argent (1983). Known for his minimalist style, nonprofessional actors, and spiritual themes, Bresson crafts haunting portraits of human suffering and redemption. We break down the tragic innocence of Mouchette, a tale of a young girl’s quiet descent, and L’Argent, his final film—a chilling meditation on money, fate, and morality. Join us as we unpack Bresson’s unique storytelling, his signature use of sound and image, and why these films remain as hauntingly relevant today as ever.https://linktr.ee/silverscreenvideoThanks for stopping by.
