The 4th #法罗岛电影节# will bring you "Pickpocket" on the 6th screening day of the main competition unit. Here is the evaluation of the publication group!
H:
Is the core a romance...? The whole film is mostly narrated in a diary-like manner by the male lead, with a steady rhythm and weak expression of emotions. I was very impressed with that policeman, he was a good man, but unfortunately the male protagonist didn't want to regret it. The way they steal things is quite interesting.
Toco:
I like the scenes of theft very much. The audiovisual language is worthy of careful analysis.
Mimi:
It is brave to accept who you are, and to love with confidence.
Gray cat:
Somehow, this movie is very interesting to me. Bresson’s old film "Pickpocket" has a documentary-like form of expression. The highly regarded minimalism is slightly crafty. The silent scenes are intriguing. The rhythm and editing are remarkable. The man in the film has his own philosophy of life. The protagonist has a restrained expression and emotional restraint, but there is tension in it. The scenes of a group of three stealing gangs committing crimes on a train are presented as if they are flowing water. Even if there are routines, some movies are good-looking routines.
Want to be you:
From nervousness to surprise.
Aurora vovo:
Rather than saying that the camera is "gazing" at the protagonist, it is better to say that the camera is "seeing" the protagonist. It is like an eye, allowing us to see many events in the protagonist's life in detail. To upgrade the "anti-moral" behavior of pickpocketing to an existence similar to performance art without incurring the resentment of moral defenders, Bresson is really powerful.
City of Philharmonic:
Perhaps it is related to the experience of the German concentration camps in his early years. Robert Bresson is very good at portraying human suffering.
There is no laughter in Bresson’s movies, pickpockets can’t laugh, prisoners can’t laugh, donkeys can’t laugh, confused priests can’t laugh, and lonely little girls can’t laugh, they are suffering everything in silence until they perish.
Through his films, one can find a resonance in the suffering of others, and empathy is the greatest charm of such films.
Shang Xiu's movies:
It turned out to be a love story. This is magic. The soundtrack is moving but should be deleted. Another pity is that the narrative itself is not as smooth and natural as the director's technique.
Dan Stevens:
The logic is not rigorous enough. Love is always omnipotent in the movie. Will such a beauty fall in love with a thief? Well, when his mother, friends, police, and social morality failed to save him, it was damned love that saved him. But the shots about theft are really beautiful, at least, as Michelle thinks, it is a wonderful performance art.
Xiaofeng and your waning moon:
The dance between the fingertips is simple and beautiful. Bresson calmly and simply described the heart and life of a pickpocket. It's a pity that my personality doesn't show much charm, and this weak and frustrated male protagonist makes me so irritable.
fire_storm:
Bresson is a god. Only he can use the narration to portray the characters so richly without being cumbersome or tasteless. Only he can make any actor be able to use the transcendent model performance method to shoot realism themes so poetic. The smooth theft clips and the infinite guard ending are even more examples for countless future generations to imitate.
