Filmmakers Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, directors of Party Monster (2003), have turned their lens onto another side of decadence by taking on the cultural impact of Deep Throat. Originally made in 1972 for $25K, the first crossover porno has become one of the most profitable films of all time. Inside Deep Throat traces the captivating history surrounding the flick, from the sexual revolution to the pornography boom and subsequent backlash in America. The filmmakers interview stars Linda Lovelace and Harry Reams, as well as such cultural icons as Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer, and John Waters. After debuting at this year’s Sundance festival, this probing documentary makes its LA premiere at the Egyptian tonight. (TCR)
