ABOUT THE FILM: This incomparable story of crime and redemption from the French master Robert Bresson follows Michel, a young pickpocket who spends his days working the streets, subway cars, and train stations of Paris. As his compulsive pursuit of the thrill of stealing grows, however, so does his fear that his luck is about to run out. A cornerstone of the career of this most economical and profoundly spiritual of filmmakers, PICKPOCKET is an elegantly crafted, tautly choreographed study of humanity in all its mischief and grace. Screened at this very Los Feliz 3 in 1969, filmmaker Paul Schrader went on to cite this film as hugely influential in making TAXI DRIVER. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: France
