Less is more is easy to understand, but difficult to achieve for directors and actors who are generally used to being overly expressive.
Bresson's movements are actually not many. First, the subject matter occupies a high level, which is more philosophical and poetic, and then the picture and performance are minimal or even rigid.
For example, in this film, there are countless things about thieves before or after, but they are all related to the material level, and the natural and fresh exceptions from the spiritual level. As for the gorgeous editing of the breathtaking stealing skills, the mysterious seems to have repeatedly stayed away from Bresson.
