Pickpocket - 1959 ***

I don't feel really that I am qualified enough to comment properly on Bresson's work, for he's obviously one of the great cinematic directors of all time, but I would just like to say that I found 'pickpocket' to be an incredibly skillful and sharp production of the highest quality, even down to the precise slight of hand tricks that the main character pulls of to pick pockets. The story is simple, but I suppose you could say that it works on many levels as a morality tale, or just a thrilling ride with a man who has the stealthiest fingers ever. Either way you should watch this film.
