Review of The Pawnbroker (1965) by Marcus W — 06 Jul 2015
One of the first Hollywood films to deal with the Holocaust, The Pawnbroker is thematically and stylistically innovative, borrowing some of its devices from the French New Wave, such as brief flashbacks, stylized b/w imagery, and jazzy score.
The film makes its point with narrative economy and emotional sophistication in a socially complex contemporary context.
