pickpocket was more my thing, especially since its far more open with its ideas but l'argent is still really good as it evolves the simplicity of pickpocket from one person to a whole world where greed is like the default mode thats like a domino effect.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A devastating chain-reaction tragedy where a single counterfeit note becomes the instrument of an innocent man's systematic destruction. Bresson's austere vision transforms a simple premise into a brutal meditation on how systems crush the powerless.
