The Pawnbroker (1964)
The Pawnbroker (1964) is a classic film directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Rod Steiger as a Jewish pawnbroker living in Harlem. The film is a powerful exploration of the psychological effects of the Holocaust on its survivors. While the film is primarily focused on the psychological trauma of the Holocaust, it also contains several sexual moments.
The most prominent sexual moment in the film is when the pawnbroker, Sol Nazerman, meets a former prostitute, Jesus Ortiz, in a bar. The two share a passionate kiss, and the scene is filled with sexual tension. This scene is significant because it is the first time that Sol has felt any kind of physical connection since the Holocaust.
Another sexual moment in the film is when Sol visits a brothel. He is initially disgusted by the scene, but eventually begins to feel aroused. This scene is significant because it shows how the trauma of the Holocaust has affected Sol's sexuality.
The final sexual moment in the film is when Sol visits a strip club. He is initially repulsed by the scene, but eventually begins to feel aroused. This scene is significant because it shows how Sol is still capable of feeling sexual desire, despite the trauma of the Holocaust.
Overall, The Pawnbroker (1964) is a powerful exploration of the psychological effects of the Holocaust on its survivors.
