The Oral Generation

About This Movie

The Oral Generation is a rather bold documentary from 1970 that really captures the essence of sexual liberation among young women at the time. It’s not just about the explicit acts; there’s a raw, almost anthropological approach to exploring their attitudes. The pacing has an almost hypnotic rhythm, contrasting candid interviews with graphic demonstrations. You can feel the tension of a society in flux, and the performances—if you can call them that—are striking in their honesty. It’s fascinating how this film walks that tightrope of education and shock value, making it a distinctive piece from a pivotal era in sexual history.

The Oral Generation has seen limited releases over the years, often traded among collectors due to its explicit content and unique historical perspective. Formats range from VHS to DVD, but finding a good quality print can be challenging. Collector interest tends to focus on its sociocultural implications rather than just the shock factor, making it a film that sparks extensive discussion among cinephiles.
