Description
In Robert Bresson's austere masterwork, a young man in Paris (Martin LaSalle) drifts into a life of petty crime as a pickpocket, with a quiet, mounting intensity that takes on an almost spiritual dimension. Inspired by Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Pickpocket is one of Bresson's defining achievements—a film of radical formal purity in which everyday gestures become transcendent and the wages of transgression converge unexpectedly with the possibility of grace.
