The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
A film by Noah Segan
w/ John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price
Rated NR
1hr 28min
Harry Lehman is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed New York. Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily cancelled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie. When he unwittingly purloins and fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.
I love everything about this movie, from its precision plotting to its autumnal poise -- a gentle appreciation for what’s gone, along with acceptance that colder days are coming.
