The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor/Panavision 130m
Director: Milos Forman
Cast: Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love, Edward Norton, James Cromwell
Synopsis:
The creator of Hustler magazine and self-styled king of smut tilts at the American legal system and fights for freedom of expression all the way to the Supreme Court.
Review:
Despite its length this lusty biopic never attempts to link its various episodes with much coherence, its provocative hero surviving more than one brush with the law by virtue of a simple cut to some time later. It is healthily impudent, however, in choosing so notorious a mouthpiece for the endorsement of American values, and its central love story is achieved without condescension or sentimentality.
