The Pleasure of Being Robbed
Directed by Josh Safdie
Produced by Red Bucket Films
A philosophical character study of a petty thief in New York whose seemingly selfish acts of theft paradoxically enrich the lives she steals from, blending whimsy with existential inquiry.
A curious and lost Eleonore looks for something everywhere, even in the bags of strangers who find themselves sadly smiling only well after she's left their lives. They owe her their thanks.
