One of the potential smaller awards vehicles worth considering this year is The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, which could be a Best Actor player for star John Turturro. Earlier today, an official trailer for the film was released, showcasing the material for Turturro to play with. The movie will be in theaters starting on October 23rd, so a prime Oscar season release date.
This is the synopsis from Sony Pictures Classics:
Harry is an old-school hustler. A classic native New Yorker, he moves through life lubricating palms with cash, relying on his wits and connections. But times are changing for Harry. His daily pickpocket take isn’t green bills and wristwatches, it’s credit cards and cell phones. And one unfortunate night, cryptocurrency and a handgun.
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a nostalgic portrait of a small-time career criminal navigating today’s digitally networked world. Writer/Director Noah Segan’s modern metropolis is powered by the ephemera of a time gone by, with shoe-leather action brought to radiant life by a terrific cast, led by John Turturro’s exceptional turn as Harry.
Here is the trailer for The Only Living Pickpocket in New York:
