Inside Deep Throat (2005)

good when strictly about the film and Linda

[6/10 · 23 October 2006]

More than just a documentary on the triple X porn classic,"Deep Throat". This film is about the time of it's release, political motivations played an extremely huge hand in how well the porn movie did. And because it was released at just the right moment in history is one of the only reasons it's as highly regarded and made an unbelievable profit. There are a great many better porn films (New Wave hookers, Debbie does Dallas, Devil in miss jones 3, etc...) But I digress, the documentary is pretty interesting, if the subject matter does stretch a bit thin. When the people who were directly involved with the film are being interviewed the film's fascinating. When those on screen have nothing at all to do with anything (Wes Craven, John Waters, Bill Maher, and so on) not so much. The film as a whole is flaccid and nothing i would watch again. And this from a guy who isn't above pornography in the least. It still remains good in short spurts

My Grade: C+

DVD Extras: Audio commentary with directors Randy Barbato & Fenton Bailey; collection of audio outtakes from the film; 14 Deleted scenes (some exclusive to the NC-17 rated version); and Theatrical trailer
