Images of entrapment abound in Pickpocket. Michel is consistently found between two people. In more than one case these are police detectives. More interesting, however, are the patterns of light which Bresson manages to achieve. Bresson is fanatical in his use of light. Capable of creating films entirely in whites (Au Hasard Balthazar) or in blacks (Diary of a Country Priest, Mouchette), in Pickpocket Bresson uses both in conjunction to demonstrate the difference between Michel's acts and their consequences...

Godard's films similarly document the meeting or reality and sensibility, instead of documenting reality in a direct, objective manner. Thus fiction and fantasy abound in his works. The same is true of newer Eastern and Western European films, which delight in twisting old dramatic old dramatic forms and inventing new and yet more fantastic ones, instead of making straightforward films whose subject is truly social reality...
