In the words of Lewis Klahr himself, his first full-length film The Pettifogger is 'an abstract crime film, a sensorial exploration of the virulence of unfettered capitalism'. The life of the 'pettifogger', a petty criminal in the early 1960s, is collapsing thanks to his greed, his calculating nature and his weakness for playing cards for money. The further he descends, the more vague and enigmatic the story becomes.
