Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Interesting, But Lacking At Its Core
The legendary Jeanne Moreau stars as Mademoiselle, a school teacher, filled with repressed sexual urges, in a small French village. She finds ways to vent her desires, mostly through arson and other destructive acts.
Mademoiselle seems like a film that desperately wants to be profound. It seems like a film that wants to say something about repressing desires, and the insignificance of mankind against nature. For the most part, it fails. It is unclear whether Mademoiselle's violent actions ... Read More
Rating:  - Disturbingly great tale of sexual obsession and repression
There have been a series of fires to the farms on a small French village. The villagers suspect a hunky Italian who has been sleeping around with their women, but the viewers know from the first scene that the culprit is "Mademoiselle," the schoolteacher played by Jeanne Moreau.
Scripted by Jean Genet, the plotline is merely an excuse to explore the violent dynamics of sexual desire, with the hunky Italian symbolizing masculine virility and the French schoolteacher symbolizing feminine repression. ... Read More
Rating: - Desire can be poison
This is a unique film experience, complex and odd.
The story is that of a spinster school teacher, Mademoiselle, played by Jeanne Moreau. She is the adored school teacher in a rural French village. Yet, she engages in acts of secret destruction that bring havoc to the people of the little village. Her first act of destruction seems to be accidental but when she finds that her handsome Italian dream man comes to the rescue, she creates more and more havoc.
She meets the masculine handsome ... Read More
Rating: - Moreau Brings the Audience Fusion of Thought and Puzzlement
Mademoiselle performed by Jeanne Moreau, who is in her own rights probably one of cinema's most alluring women, opens the gates of a small dam. The calm water begins seeping through the gradually opening crack as the tiny stream quickly turns into a rapid river that floods a small farm where tied up animals disappear underneath the surface. This gruesome event unveils the dark nature of Mademoiselle as she returns to her home above the school in which she teaches. The wicked Mademoiselle leaves the townsfolk's in a ... Read More
Rating:  - Gives French cinema a bad name
MADEMOISELLE is an overly dark, lethargically-paced film about a rural French town beset by repeated tragedies: fires, floods and more. The locals suspect an Italian woodsman named Manou - because he's Italian, I guess - but in actuality it is a repressed old spinster called Mademoiselle (Jeanne Moreau) who is responsible. She is obsessed with Manou and out of her frustration is driven to horrible acts. Sure. Whatever.
This is a ridiculous story with no logic to it. No one ever suspects Mademoiselle, ... Read More
