Directed by Robert Bresson
Written by Robert Bresson
IMDB
Michel is a writer with no income. He turns to picking pockets to supplement his income and for a thrill. He teams up with a few guys and practices his craft. And he runs from the police.
A short, but excellent movie. It is as emotionless as the main character. That is its strength and weakness, in my opinion. It's clearly intended. Is this a "masterpiece?" I'm not sure. It is quite good and very well worth watching.
8/10
