Bresson's tense thriller is never overtly gay, and in many ways is a moral parable. But the sensuous connections of pickpocketing, the psychosexual thrill, and the strange meetings of thieves (like in men's bathrooms) leaves a distinctly Queer impression on this nimble art.
Michel takes up pickpocketing on a lark and is arrested soon after. His mother dies shortly after his release, and despite the objections of his only friend, Jacques, and his mother’s neighbor Jeanne, Michel teams up with a couple of petty thieves in order to improve his craft. With a police inspector keeping an eye on him, Michel also tries to get a straight job, but the temptation to steal is hard to resist.

Brain Dead Studios
When James Dillinger’s shot-on-video masterpiece Blonde Death premiered at West Hollywood’s EZTV Video Gallery on October 6, 1983, it instantly became the closest thing that the space had to a “hit”, playing as a late-night movie for months.
This outrageous 80s time capsule, shot on video for $2000 by pulp author and "the world's angriest gay man" James Robert Baker, Blonde Death is a John Waters-inspired true punk film about a teenage girl on a crime spree with her two bisexual best friends.
Tammy, an angry, nihilistic teenager fed up with the mediocrity of suburban life, descends into a hedonistic spree of drugs, crime and murder.
