detail fanaticism

"Bresson is probably the only person in the history of film who can perfectly integrate pre-formed concepts into finished works..." The

book is adapted from Dostoevsky's Niu X's "Crime and Punishment"

Bresson His video description ability is astonishing, and his fanatical obsession with details makes the whole process of the theft unfold like a stream of clouds. In this film, Bresson almost creates a video rhythm like the beating of a heart~

calm, objective, and restrained.

Coincidentally , this The film was shot in the same year as Godard's "Exhausted" in 1959. However, Bresson, who has always been persistent and persistent, does not seem to be too "tempted" by the new wave, and he indulges himself in rhythm, image relationship, etc. A private road of exploration, this road is clearly outside the trend and time,
and Bresson is still persistent as always,
"silently" doing "his own thing", walking "his own road"

is probably this kind of "unpublicized". "Concentration" and "persistence" are a kind of absolute self-confidence...
Absolutely self-confident~~

    [A-] The sequence of shots of the protagonist going upstairs seems to explain everything about the movie: in the picture, the environment always appears before the character, and establishes its subject position in stillness, and the character who breaks the stillness seems to be just passing by. But on the other hand, the voice-over's footsteps never stop. Through the simple sound effect settings, different scenes are connected into a complete space, which accurately builds the audience's expectations, as if the characters are everywhere. So we got the audio-visual code of the film, the environment takes precedence over the characters, and the sound precedes the picture. First sound, backward vision, and then feeling, maybe these three steps are the truth of minimalism. As for how the movie gives the audience expectations and provides answers, "Pickpocket" is the ultimate.
