For this month’s EUROPEAN VACATION we got a lot of French features. They love their movies and we love movies so it all works out. Today we break the seal on Robert Bresson with his 1959 classic “PICKPOCKET” starring Martin LaSalle and Marika Green. The strange Michel is very driven into relieving people’s wallet weight and is so intent on it that it seems to overtake his life and his relationships. He even takes from his dying mother. The police chief suspects him but has no proof. His friend likes the girl in his building but, somehow, this innocent girl’s heart belongs to the man who does things she finds immoral. Also in this movie? Pickpocketing. Seems obvious given the title but this movie is very informative. The pickpocket advisor quit after working on this movie because he said he gave away all his secrets. I don’t think the meatheads on lower Broadway here in Nashville have seen Robert Bresson’s “PICKPOCKET” so let’s get down there and see what we can squirrel up with the education this movie provides. If I get locked up? No big deal. That’s how you get the girls. They like a strange pickpocket man with a vacant stare. ADHD hyper focus scores again.
