SAT SEPT 3, 2022 1:00 PM PICKPOCKET $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | Robert Bresson: An American Cinematheque Retrospective Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: Loosely based on Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Bresson’s terse, intense portrait of a compulsive pickpocket (Martin LaSalle) who believes himself above the moral constraints of common humanity turns the act of thievery into a ritual at once erotic and aesthetic. The “ballets of thievery,” as Jean Cocteau called them, are stunningly choreographed and edited. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films
