An enigmatic and malign school teacher (Jeanne Moreau) torments the residents of a small French village with seemingly motiveless acts of violence and destruction. When her erotic obsession with an ostracised outsider causes her behaviour to become yet more extreme, tensions in the community reach boiling point - but will the villagers see beyond their prejudices? 'Mademoiselle' is a mesmerising psychological drama and an artistic, disturbing exploration of the darkest of carnal desires.
