Fascinated. My three favorite scenes: the theft at the racetrack, the multiple theft at the train station, and the kiss across the fence in the prison. There is basically no expression on the faces of each character throughout the film, but they can feel their inner emotions and fluctuations. Just like when reading a diary in reality, all you see is the cold words, and then follow the words to explore the stories in the words, and then feel the emotions in the stories. With very little character dialogue and extensive voice-over, Bresson takes us into a world of pickpockets through only images and sounds.
