Monsieur Ibrahim

Watched this movie last night, and greatly enjoyed it. The story is of a youngster, Jewish, who lives with his father in a flat in a working-class district in Paris. The youngster watches whores who ply their trade a block away from his window. Finally he acts on temptation, breaks his piggy-bank, and uses his savings to buy a lay. Sylvie is the one prostitute who accepts his offer.
Omar Sharif is magnificent as Ibrahim, the grocer in whose shop Momo shops (and shoplifts).

A 1960s soundtrack is used, featuring some familiar tunes.
