i used to shoplift things when i was younger, and i must say, the director captures the grim, quiet exhileration of stealing small objects with perfection.

what is the little soccer ball on the videos bottom right for?? :O and clever ways Bresson shows to pick pockets. :) i like them! not to try them myself of course....

haven't read anything on it, but is Bresson's use of lack of expression in characters an ode to ozu or is it just his style?

[arandomspectator]

@A34Z It's just his style. It can already be observed in films such as Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (1945) and Diary of a Country Priest (1951), which where both made years before Ozu was really known at all in the West, which came with Tokyo Story (1953). The key difference is that Ozu's actors feature lack of expression due to the emotional-repressive nature of traditional Japanese culture, whereas Bresson's characters are more deliberately unemotional to enhance his ascetic style.
