most emotionally devasting moment in film

Glad Bresson isn't alive to read this. Though I do like the term "donkey film."

Most of the Bresson films have a moment of epiphany that jolts the viewer especially at the end. Diary of a Country Priest, The Devil Probably, L'Argent, Pickpocket, Une Femme Douce, all have very emotional endings. Some happy, some sad.

I find "Au Hasard Baltazar" to be too cerebral for my taste. It is definitely an art house film. For me, the saddest film of all, and perhaps Bresson's masterpiece, is "Mouchette". The Monteverdi score is sublime.
