Deep Throat: When Porn Makes Its Premiere

About This Movie

So, Deep Throat: When Porn Makes Its Premiere is a fascinating dive into the cultural impact of a film that shifted conversations around sexuality in the early '70s. Agnès Poirier does a decent job unpacking the layers of societal attitudes towards sex, especially how Linda Lovelace's performance became both a symbol of liberation and manipulation. The pacing is reflective, allowing for moments of contemplation, which contrasts with the frenetic energy often associated with the subject matter. The archival footage paired with interviews gives it a rich texture, and the attention to historical context makes you think about how far we've come—or not. Definitely a film that sparks an interesting debate.
