The Pleasure of Being Robbed is the debut feature by young filmmaker Josh Safdie. Beautifully shot on 16 mm in the late night/early morning streets of New York, it tells the story of Eleonore (played by Eleonore Hendricks, who also co-wrote the film with Safdie), a kleptomaniac wandering the city — stealing wallets, purses, and even baskets of kittens. When she steals a car with her friend Josh (played by…yes, you guessed right), so begins a late night roadtrip to Boston.

Distant, washed out, and with no moral repercussions apparent, The Pleasure Of Being Robbed is a unique film from a beautiful new cinematic voice, and opens this weekend — for one week only — at IFC.
