Michel, played by non-professional actor Martin LaSalle, is a master thief who spends his days working the streets (and pockets) of Paris. As his thrill of the steal grows, so does his fear of getting caught. In French w/ subtitles.

His research explores the concept of surface in postwar French literature and film. Drawing on contemporary theory, his work examines how surfacesโ€”clothing, skin, screensโ€”mediate perception and subjectivity.
