Review of Pickpocket (1959) by Knox M — 22 Mar 2018
At the outset Bresson "debunks" the misconception suggested by the title that it is a thriller, which is almost right. For the most part it is a lonely, uneasy film. However don't let this fool you into thinking it is a suspense-less affair; the scenes where our protagonist steals are perfectly executed scenes of ball-breaking tension.
