Inside Deep Throat - NC-17
|
|
i've never seen deep throat but from the clips shown here it doesn't look like a masterpiece. however this is an enlightening documentary on the first porn film to go mainstream and be prosecuted for obscenity, ultimately becoming the most profitable film of all time. the early 70s was a more innocent time for so-called 'blue movies' and the director, gerard damiano, reminded me of burt reynolds' character in boogie nights, with his ambitions of merging hardcore with hollywood. things took a turn with the invention of the vcr and, almost 40 years on, the internet may kill the adult film industry altogether. it becomes ever more extreme and misogynistic in search of an audience. interesting sidelights include the mob's investment in the film and the feminist crusade that turned its' star against it. the first amendment issue is still relevant as the laws under which it was prosecuted are in place in america and the religious right is never far away

it's wonderfully photographed but the story is a bit lacking and the american actors aren't helping with suspension of disbelief. i love harvey keitel but he just can't do everything

Night Must Fall - Unrated

good psychological thriller with strong performances by the three leads. i've never been a fan of robert montgomery but he's remarkably effective here. it's obviously based on a play and goes on a little long but it's suspenseful and well worth watching.

the second and one of the best of the frankenstein series. it's a shame cushing is mostly remembered in the states for playing grand moff tarkin of star wars after all the wonderful work he did for hammer. the monster here is truly heartbreaking
