Camille Paglia

Полин Кель (1919–2001) была, несомненно, одним из величайших имен в кинокритике. Уроженец Калифорнии, она написала свой первый обзор в 1953 году и присоединилась к «The New Yorker» в 1968 году. Хвалившая за ее очень самоуверенный и злющий стиль письма и критиковавшую за ее субъективные и иногда безжалостные рецензии, работы Каэля были освежающе и глубоко укоренились в ее опыте смотреть фильм в качестве зрителя. Любили и ненавидели в равной мере - любили других критиков, на которых она была очень влиятельна, и ненавидели режиссеров, чьи фильмы она разгромила - Кель уничтожил фильмы, которые с тех пор стали такими классиками, как «Звуки музыки», и бредил такими людьми, как Бонни и Клайд , Она также знала о постоянных трудностях для женщин, работающих в кино и кинокритике, и яростно боролась с сексизмом, как в своих рецензиях, так и в своих выступлениях в СМИ.

In 1972, a seemingly typical shoestring budget pornographic film was made in a Florida hotel, "Deep Throat," starring Linda Lovelace. This film would surpass the wildest expectation of everyone involved to become one of the most successful independent films of all time.

This film covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star.

Bernhard, an actress-comedienne whose brassy humor attracts a cult-like following, here offers a semiconfessional view of her life's landscape. Childhood memories of her father, a doctor, and her mother, an artist, are warmly rendered in scenes of the Jewish family amiably accommodating itself to the Christmas season, and of the obligatory communal vacations joined by colorful relatives. The abrupt transition to a flamboyant denizen of "downtowns," Los Angeles or New York, to an existence as a character in the lives of marginal people, is evoked in sharply satirical terms, in a melange of humorous fact and fiction, monologues akin to those that make Bernhard an icon of pop culture.
