Reviews

  • The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote on February 14, 2005: "Larry Parrish, who brought numerous contributors to the porn film Deep Throat to court in the 1970s , is a crusader with a baby face who bravely confesses that he lost some of the images in the film out of his head and who seriously believes the world would be a better place had this film never existed. That sounds almost 33 years like the legendary porn that first attracted celebrities from Jackie Kennedy to Truman Capote and then the prosecution to the cinema as absurd as the anatomical premise of the film, the heroine of which has her clitoris deep in her throat, somewhere behind her tonsils. And then again, not when you consider that in some American states, oral sex between married couples is still a criminal offense. ...) The documentary is made in an original way, it keeps cutting funny clips from American educational films and between the talking heads Deep Throat and advocates free artistic expression in a solid and liberal way. Feminist criticism is not forgotten, and everyone is happy that the Watergate Informant was named after the film - but the film doesn't make too much effort to examine the disastrous marriage and sad path of Linda Lovelace or the bleak mechanics of the Sex industry, which was of course not replaced by fun and rebellion during the filming of "Deep Throat". "
  • The Berliner "tageszeitung" (taz) wrote on February 12, 2005: "Probably, so Inside Deep Throat assumes , the topic of clitoral orgasm contributed to the tremendous success of the film. That this orgasm was discovered in the wrong place justified it Feminist accusation of the film by no means pursuing an emancipatory interest. On the contrary, the prevailing ideology continued to be conveyed: The woman must do well what was good for the man - the blow job . But it is precisely in this phrase that Inside Deep Throat makes it clear that it is The negotiated matter turns out to be completely new, different at every point in time and at every place of the debate. Thus, the protagonist Linda Lovelace can initially be celebrated as the first porn star of a mainstream audience, only to appear as a victim to whom well-known feminists like Gloria Steinem have to jump in The weak point of the film is its framework narrative of the dawn of porn film in the innocence of sexuality n Revolution and its decline in pure commerce that today makes Hollywood box office profits seem ridiculous. "
  • In August 2005, the NDR's online service read: "The special thing about Deep Throat : It made pornography trendy. It ran in normal cinemas, it was in the newspapers. Suddenly the topic of sex mixed up a whole society. The documentary Inside Deep Throat is now tracing the Kulturkampf of that time. (...) Deep Throat was not a good film, but an important one. And the furiously edited and amusing documentary shows how topical the dispute from back then is still or again. "
