FREE SPEECH AIN'T CHEAP After a seven year absence, Academy Award® winning-director Miloš Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, 1975; Amadeus, 1985) returned with the epic tale of Larry Flynt - hillbilly underdog, eccentric entrepreneur, and founder of Hustler Magazine. A cinematic tour de force that follows the tribulations of one of America's most unapologetic iconoclasts, The People vs. Larry Flynt is a wild ride, screaming at the top of its lungs for the survival of free press and the relevance of the First Amendment. Standing at the junction of comedy and drama, between courtroom antics and a most unique love story, this historical masterpiece sorely debates the necessity for free speech, denouncing a state where democracy collapses under the weight of prudish and institutionalized religious backward thinking. Controversial, shameless, thought-provoking, Larry Flynt - the dissident, the provocateur, the unlikely champion of free speech - battles against censorship for our right to bad taste and self-expression. Produced by Oliver Stone (JFK) and skilfully penned by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood), The People vs. Larry Flynt breaks through with a cast spearheaded by Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers) giving his most compelling performance in the title role, supported by rock star Courtney Love (Man on the Moon) as his soul mate Althea and Edward Norton (Fight Club) as his cunning but trustworthy lawyer. This special 30th Anniversary edition features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative, and an array of new and archival special features.
