Our take

Miloš Forman’s biographical drama about a famed pornographer surprisingly shifts into a polemic on free speech in America in this witty and astute drama tackling censorship head-on. Starring Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love, and Edward Norton, Forman’s film won the top prize at the 1997 Berlinale.
