Inside Deep Throat (2005)
Synopsis
In 1972, a seemingly typical shoestring budget
pornographic film was made in a Florida hotel, "Deep Throat," starring
Linda Lovelace. This film would surpass the wildest expectation of
everyone involved to become one of the most successful independent films
of all time. It caught the public imagination which met the spirit of
the times, even as the self appointed guardians of public morality
struggled to suppress it, and created, for a brief moment, a possible
future where sexuality in film had a bold artistic potential. This film
covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning
success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob
influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star.
In short, the combined events would redefine the popular appeal of
pornography, even as more cynical developments would lead it down other
paths.
