Pickpocket

A marvel of poise and circumspect emotion from French auteur Robert Bresson.

“Pickpocket” is about a man who deliberately and self-consciously tries to operate outside morality...

Bresson so completely understood the full spectrum of our human condition that to ignore the sexual and spiritual elements that run concurrently through his films is to not get Bresson at all.

…director Bresson has created a wonderful study of a criminal on the road to redemption…

...to the extent that Pickpocket is a movie about a pickpocket, it’s a highly effective one.
