FUCK d: Steve Anderson
Fuck (2006)
Director: Steve Anderson. Interviewees: Steven Bochco, Pat Boone, Janeane Garofalo, Ron Jeremy, Bill Maher, Alanis Morissette, Tera Patrick, Kevin Smith
BIRDS DO IT (BUT WON’T TALK ABOUT IT)
Directed by Steve Anderson, Fuck is a curious documentary that pretends to be about one of the most offensive (and most convenient) words in the English language, but that is actually a generally perceptive — if somewhat narrow in scope — examination of freedom of speech in the United States.
Ranging from recently deceased author Hunter S. Thompson, to whom the film is dedicated, to adult film star Tera Patrick, numerous talking heads debate the history, the myriad meanings and grammatical forms, and the symbolic value of that multi-faceted word.
Note: After watching Fuck, you’ll never see — or say — Pat Boone the same way again.
