A three-part lecture series, “Sex, Cinema & Censorship,” starts tonight at 92YTribeca. NYU’s Howard Oboler traces how film went from titillation to T&A, and tonight he looks at “lesbianism (The Children’s Hour [1961]), homosexuality (Brokeback Mountain [2005]) and pedophilia (Lolita [1962]) in a very academic light.”
As we’re keen educators here at TONY, we’ve compiled some “study aids” in the form of clips from the men-in-drag Some Like It Hot, the sexually empowered and bare-legged (gasp!) Red-Headed Woman and the “I’ve fallen for Audrey Hepburn” lesbian conundrum The Children’s Hour. Enjoy! But in a serious, chin-stroking manner.
