Review of Pickpocket (1959) by Reece L — 22 Sep 2015
In Pickpocket theres nothing but the souls of the characters. Bresson's technique is perfect: the softness on the movements of his camera, his direction of his models ( he never called them actors ), all in form is headed to make a content:a story about crime and redemption.
The ending is a breathtaking, a moment of true beauty: The thief on her beloved arms, a resemblance of Michelangelo's "La pietá" in one of the highest points cinema as a major art.
