Final Quick Trailer for Turturro’s ‘Only Living Pickpocket in New York’​

“You know the consequence of stealing from a family like mine…” Sony Pictures Classics revealed another new trailer for the film The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, an acclaimed story of a pickpocketer in NYC made by actor / filmmaker Noah Segan. It’s a good one! This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to mostly rave reviews and now it opens in theaters soon this fall. Led by John Turturro in one of his finest performances, the film follows Harry, an old school hustler / pickpocket. A classic native New Yorker, he moves through life lubricating palms with cash, relying on his wits & connections. But times are changing for Harry. His daily take isn’t green bills & wristwatches, it’s credit cards and cell phones. And one unfortunate night, cryptocurrency and a handgun – which gets him into big trouble. A nostalgic portrait of a small-time career criminal navigating today’s digitally networked world. Featuring Turturro playing Harry, with Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, Victoria Moroles, Steve Buscemi, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This is old school, down-and-dirty filmmaking and the story is simple but it works well as a how-things-have-changed NYC parable. This trailer is basically a shorter version of the previous official trailer – but I’m happy to post it anyway. And I hope folks go catch this when it’s playing in theaters.

Here’s the second trailer for Noah Segan’s film The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, on YouTube:

A love-letter to New York City. Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed NYC. Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily canceled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie. When he unwittingly purloins & fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family. The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is directed by the American actor / writer / filmmaker Noah Segan, making his second feature film after directing Blood Relatives previously. Produced by Leopold Hughes, Katie McNeill, Ben LeClair. Executive produced by Ram Bergman, Johnny Holland, Rian Johnson, Dan Watson. This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Sony Pictures Classics debuts Segan’s The Only Living Pickpocket in New York in select US theaters starting on October 23rd, 2026 this fall. Look any good? Who’s down?
