About the SBCC Film Review Club and Site.

If you want to see something that you usually don’t, I recommend you to see this movie. It’s a different entertaining crime drama. Personally, I recommend Robert Bressons’ ”Pickpocket” to middle age people who enjoy old black and white movies. That said, Bresson, captures our attention by showing us skillful pickpockets techniques and makes us laugh over how easy it looks. This fact makes the movie a bit borring and the fact that the characters barely speeks to each-other doesn’t make the movie more interesting. He want the audience to get their own opinion and he does this by only showing a man and his situation which makes the audience wonder, who is this man and what do we think about him? His film is really simply made, no background music, just sounds off footsteps, doors closing etc. By filming over-the-shoulder shots we get to place the characters in the middle of the action. Bresson wants his actors to emote as little as possible. Pickpocket is a hard film to follow because the actors faces doesn’t show any feeling. His mother is very sick and he seems to have a hard time dealing with relationships and his own feelings. He always learns new tricks and meets up with a man once in a while, to watch, learn and became a better thief. He stands as close as possible to his victims, just waiting for the right moment, to steal their wallets from their coats. But it makes us curious enough to follow his life. He convinces himself that it’s okay to steal from others, if it’s for survival or for that erotic charge he gets out of stealing, we don’t know.

Michael is a lonely man who usually wears a suit and disappears easily in a crowd. Pickpocket is an old black and white movie played in a community where the people thinks that stealing from others is a terrible prohibited crime. The main caracter Michel, played by Martin Lasalle, is very hard to read and it makes me wonder, who he really is? I watch this black and white movie at AFI film fest, hollywood and it was a very cool film to watch. He is a skillful thief obsessed and excited to find different ways to steal peoples wallets.

It 1959 century and he lives in a small room in an old building. Robert Bresson’s ”Pickpocket” is about the thief Michel who lives in France. Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959): France
