Additional InformationBeautifully directed by Czech emigre Milos Forman, this insightful work ironically exposes the strange and controversial life of Larry Flynt (Woody Harrelson), the publisher of the ultra-raunchy porn magazine Hustler. The film chronicles three events that Flynt is best known for: a Supreme Court battle that made him an unlikely poster boy for the First Amendment; an assassination attempt that rendered him paralyzed from the waist down; and his battles with Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell. The film also provides insight into lesser-known areas of Flynt's life, particularly his relationship with soulmate Althea Leasure (played shamelessly by rocker Courtney Love), a sleazy, drug-addicted wildcat who was wholly devoted to Flynt. Leasure provided the balance that Flynt needed in his incredible life up until her AIDS-related death in 1987. The screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski proves to be a powerful parable that bravely explores the intricacies of freedom of speech.
ReviewsFilm Comment - ...The liberatory strength of the film comes from Courtney Love's terrific, all-out performance as Flynt's wife..., Entertainment Weekly - ...An exultant comedy of American repression and revolt....A great, liberating movie..., Variety - ...A vastly entertaining lesson in the importance of the Fifth Amendment....Along the way, it also tells a poignant and powerful love story, one sparked by a sensational performance by rock star Courtney Love...
