What old black and white film is it with the scene where a girl kills herself by rolling down a hill?

i think it's an old foreign, silent film. in black and white.


i've only seen a little clip of it somewhere, and it showed this girl lay on top of a hill, roll down, get up and walk to the top and repeat the same thing until she dies.





does anyone know what film i am talking about?|||The film you are looking for sounds like Robert Bresson's "Mouchette." Is this the scene you were thinking of? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSeIlQHth鈥?/a>





...Mouchette is a French film that was released in 1967 (it's not a silent). Here's a quick synopsis: Faced with a dying mother, an absent, alcoholic father, and a baby brother in need of care, the teenage Mouchette seeks solace in nature and daily routine, a respite from her economic and pubescent turmoil.
