Stop Thief

Krzysztof Zanussi
Poland 1961 / 6’

A dynamic study with an ironic finale depicting a single action performed by a street pickpocket. Selection of the victim, the theft and chase for the thief - all presented in an urban landscape, against the backdrop of tiny everyday scenes. An interesting trifle heralding a great talent and also a picture of the society of fifty years ago.
