Pickpocket (Martin La Salle) is redeemed by love of a good woman (Marika Green). |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| Mildly interesting are the scenes where an old thief (Kassagi) instructs our anti-hero on the art of picking pockets. For most of the time, however, this is a disappointingly dull character-study which fails to place the pickpocket in any social context and doesn't give any convincing reason why he has a change of heart at the end. Bresson here is at his most austere, pseudo-philosophical and inaccessible. Obviously influenced by Dostoievsky's Crime and Punishment , he is drawn into questions of Free Will versus Predestination, but conspicuously fails to dramatise his ideas. | |
