The Man Who Wasn't There (1983)
The Man Who Wasn't There (1983) is a classic film directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It tells the story of a small-town barber, Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton), who is caught up in a web of blackmail and murder. While the film is primarily a crime drama, it also contains some surprisingly explicit sexual moments.
The first of these moments comes early in the film, when Ed's wife Doris (Frances McDormand) is seen in bed with her lover, Big Dave Brewster (James Gandolfini). The scene is brief but powerful, as it conveys the tension between Ed and Doris, and the fact that their marriage is on the rocks.
Later in the film, Ed's brother-in-law, Frank (Michael Badalucco), is seen in bed with his mistress, Birdy (Katherine Borowitz). This scene is even more explicit than the first, as it shows Frank and Birdy in a passionate embrace. The scene also serves to further illustrate the tension between Ed and Doris, as it is clear that Frank is having an affair with Doris' sister.
The final sexual moment in the film comes when Ed is in jail and meets a fellow inmate, Creighton Tolliver (Jon Polito). The two men share a brief but intense moment of intimacy, as they kiss passionately in the prison cell. This scene is particularly powerful, as it conveys the loneliness and desperation of Ed's situation.
Overall, The Man Who Wasn't There contains some surprisingly explicit sexual moments. These moments serve to illustrate the tension between Ed and Doris, as well as the loneliness and desperation of Ed's situation. As such, they are an important part of the film's overall narrative.
