Pickpocket

synopsis


Robert Bressons masterful Pickpocket is a moving meditation on the human condition as it tells the story of Michel, a young man who chooses to be a pickpocket rather than finding legitimate work and discovers the thrill of stealing. When he winds up being arrested, he reflects on the morality of crime but then soon returns to pick pocketing, after taking lessons from an expert and his confidence grows with each successful crime. Inspired by Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, Bressons austere masterpiece is a chilling work about obsession where there is plenty of feeling boiling from the inner being of Michel as his feelings of superiority masks his vapid insecurity. In the end, Michel finds peace with himself in the most ungodly of places where he finally seeks and finds redemption. Regarded by many as one of the greatest films of all time by one of cinemas greats, Pickpocket, beautifully filmed in glorious black-and-white in a digitally restored version, can finally be seen in its original version.
