Pickpocket Page #5

Synopsis: Michel takes up picking pockets as a hobby, and is arrested almost immediately, giving him the chance to reflect on the morality of crime. After his release, though, his mother dies, and he rejects the support of friends Jeanne and Jacques in favour of returning to pickpocketing (after taking lessons from an expert), because he realises that it's the only way he can express himself...

You're all I have.

You want to gloat

over my downfall?

I want no one, nothing.

Stay.

There was something

I hadn't said.

Why go on living?

My mind wasn't made up.

Jeanne didn't come back.

"The baby has been ill.

A high fever

for almost three weeks.

I'm not worried anymore.

Michel, I'll come to see you soon.

Jeanne."

My heart pounded

as I read that letter.

Something lit up her face.

Oh, Jeanne, to reach you at last,

what a strange path I had to take.

Robert Bresson

Robert Bresson (French: [ʁɔbɛʁ bʁɛsɔ̃]; 25 September 1901 – 18 December 1999) was a French film director. Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson contributed notably to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Bresson is among the most highly regarded French filmmakers of all time. His works A Man Escaped (1956), Pickpocket (1959) and Au hasard Balthazar (1966) were ranked among the 100 greatest films ever made in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll. Other films of his, such as Mouchette (1967) and L'Argent (1983), also received many votes. Jean-Luc Godard once wrote, "He is the French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German music." more…
