La gazza ladra

Not many films have subplots strongly stitching into the main narrative, they are mostly put in there for the movie to look meaty.

In 'Stealing Angel's every character has a very satisfying graph, everybody has played their roles to perfection and the story slowly slides from one mood to another with such ease. It couldn't have had a better ending!

In moments where the viewer is ready to take a guess on what's coming next, there's a twist. In places where a momentous scene is expected, it ends up being so unpredictable. That's something I loved about this movie too!

This is what people always spoke about French cinema... Now I know!
