The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026)


An aging pickpocket steals to live as he cares for his wife who is catatonic. After messing with the wrong person, he finds himself in heaps of trouble. 
John Turturro is the main attraction here, but there's something about this film I absolutely love which I can't place my finger on. It's a simple character study reminiscent of 1970s crime thrillers, but it has a quality I find unforgettable.
