Claire Denis is the veteran French filmmaker responsible for gems like Chocolat, Beau Travail, and White Material. Her filmmaking style is naturalistic, using real locations, and frequently shooting her actors with the stillness of a photographer. Story-wise, her work melds both historical and personal elements, drawing on her own life and often commenting on France's colonial past.
Thief was Mann's feature debut and it's impressively assured, showing off the slick visuals and stylized elements that would become his calling cards. He leans into the grit and the character study rather than just pulpy thrills. The highlight, however, is Caan. This is one of his very best performances. He adds depth to what could have been a stock character. In Caan's hands, Frank becomes layered, enigmatic, sympathetic despite his flaws, and, above all, compelling.
The movie has a clear political edge, taking shots at oppressive corporate jobs and the mundane routines of domestic life. Director Marco Ferreri examines themes of identity, consumerism, and the quest for meaning with a critical eye. This portrait of modern ennui may not be the most entertaining, but its admirers praise its unconventional structure and inventive visual style. Denis is one of them, ranking Dillinger is Dead among her top ten.
The story quickly heads to some shocking places, involving crimes and dark secrets. The three stars all rise to the challenge, delivering phenomenal performances, but Taylor stands out the most with her devastatingly naturalistic turn. "I skipped school with a classmate to go see this 'interdit' rated film – which made it feel more important to us," Denis wrote of it.
