✦ Synopsis

Il se faufile dans la foule de Tokyo, choisissant soigneusement ses cibles pour ne dévaliser que les plus riches, dérobant les portefeuilles si délicatement que parfois il ne se souvient même pas de l'avoir fait. C'est un homme solitaire, sans attaches comme sans illusions. Jusqu'au jour où il rencontre un enfant - et un chef yakuza qui le prend au piège d'un jeu dangereux et pervers. Le pickpocket va devoir faire appel toutes les ressources de son art pour sauver sa vie, son destin, et peut-être même son âme. Un thriller élégant et mélancolique qui a reçu en 2010 le prix Kenzaburô Oe.
