Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Inside Deep Throat' is a documentary about one of the most profitable films
ever made, the adult film 'Deep Throat'. Although I, like most others, know
the film I have not seen it yet; after this documentary I definitely will.
'Deep Throat' was released in new York in 1972 and immediately the
controversy started. This documentary explains all the controversy, shows
interviews made with the people involved back then, and simply gives a lot
of extra information.
That the documentary itself sometimes does not know what it is thinking is a
minor flaw, but this sure is an interesting story to tell. Lawsuits,
feminism, porn stars converted to Christianity, Jack Nicholson and Warren
Beatty fighting for the right of, well, free acting, Richard Nixon, Ronald
Raegan and of course Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt; 'Inside Deep Throat' has
it all. If you are interested in the story behind this movie this is a great
way to start. That said, the film deserves its NC-17 rating in showing
exactly why that 1972 adult film was called 'Deep Throat'.
