The People vs. Larry Flynt
Leaving November 30
•
2h 9m
Directed by Miloš Forman • 1996 • United States
Starring Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love, Edward Norton
Director Miloš Forman brings his slyly subversive sensibility to this wickedly entertaining, stranger-than-fiction look at one man’s notorious public persona and unconventional private life. Woody Harrelson stars as Larry Flynt, the small-time strip-club owner who created a publishing empire with his raw and raunchy “Hustler” magazine. The grade-school dropout became a blue-collar Hugh Hefner, marrying exotic dancer Althea Leasure (Courtney Love) and settling into a twenty-four-room mansion. But Hustler pushed the limits of American tolerance, and Flynt attracted enemies like a magnet. Arrested for obscenity and constantly harassed, he began an arduous fight against the rising tide of censorship and the emerging radical religious right.
