Nice comments, i especially like the last view sentences, i've been harping on about similar things for a while. His stripped down approach to the aesthetic was very similar to his approach to performance and a lot of people seem to look past that. I can't believe viewers can refer to his visual style as limited when he's left so much space for people to meet the film on their own terms.

Sometimes i think that after i've seen Mouchette and Balthasaar he'll be very very close to the top.
