This dissertation focuses on a close reading of Bemanos' Journal d'un cure de campagne (1936) and Nouvelle Histoire de Mouchette (1937), and their cinematic counterparts, Bresson's Journal dun cure de campagne (1951) and Mouchette (1967). Through a comparative approach to the study of French prose fiction and its cinematic adaptation, we explore how one canonized filmmaker/auteur transposes narrative devices from the page to the screen. Bearing in mind the different demands of each medium, we examine the ways in which Bresson reworks and interprets the source material and how his reworking evolves from one film to the other. Our study shows that Bresson creates autonomous works of art with their own integrity.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on a close reading of Bemanos' Journal d'un cure de campagne (1936) and Nouvelle Histoire de Mouchette (1937), and their cinematic counterparts, Bresson's Journal dun cure de campagne (1951) and Mouchette (1967). Through a comparative approach to the study of French prose fiction and its cinematic adaptation, we explore how one canonized filmmaker/auteur transposes narrative devices from the page to the screen. Bearing in mind the different demands of each medium, we examine the ways in which Bresson reworks and interprets the source material and how his reworking evolves from one film to the other. Our study shows that Bresson creates autonomous works of art with their own integrity.
520 $a Our analysis of Bernanos' Journal d'un cure de campagne concerns the depiction of the workings of divine grace in the cure's life and his references to the Passion, though for the most part he remains unaware of these parallels with Christ. Another essential component of the novel relates to the use of the diary as both narrative device and personal support for the cure. Bresson transfers the diary form onto the screen by emphasizing the act of writing and using voice-over narration to focus on the cure's inner drama.
520 $a In Nouvelle Histoire de Mouchette, Bernanos himself takes on a sacerdotal role by assuming his heroine's burden. Our study of the author's presence in the literary text also shows that Bernanos articulates his heroine's mental processes to explain and give order to her experiences. Bresson, on the other hand, denies the spectator access to Mouchette's inner thoughts and feelings by deliberately rejecting psychological motivations: on screen all we know of the heroine is her behavior. We emphasize Bresson's use of sounds as both symbolic and dramatic elements, as well as his repetition of images to convey Mouchette's condition as the victim of a violent society.
520 $a Finally, our study explores the idea of salvation in connection with the hero/heroine's death. Bernanos, Catholic novelist, and Bresson, spiritual filmmaker, are concerned with the notion of redemption: we demonstrate that the hero/heroine's death is a means of finding grace.
