THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK

THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK

2026 (USA) 88 minutes

Directed by: Noah Segan

In a star performance of effortless command and charisma, John Turturro plays Harry, an aging petty thief from the Bronx who knows his professional days are numbered: the tactile craft of the pickpocket has become increasingly irrelevant in a digital world. Yet he must still make ends meet, especially in caring for his severely disabled wife. When Harry swipes the wallet of an ill-chosen mark (Will Price), however, he is thrust into a borough-hopping race against time to put things back in their right place. Building to a poignant climax, writer-director Noah Segan’s elegant love letter to both New York and to bygone cinematic eras recalls both the 1970s, with its grungy urban antiheroes, and the 1990s, in its American indie ethos.
