The story of controversial pornography publisher Larry Flynt and how he became an unlikely defender of free speech. After a seven-year absence, Academy Award-winning director Miloš Forman returned with the epic tale of Flynt — hillbilly underdog, eccentric entrepreneur and founder of Hustler Magazine. The film follows the tribulations of one of America's most unapologetic iconoclasts, screaming at the top of its lungs for the survival of a free press and the relevance of the First Amendment. Standing between courtroom antics and a most unique love story, it debates the necessity of free speech and denounces a state where democracy collapses under the weight of prudish, institutionalized religious backward thinking. Controversial, shameless and thought-provoking, Flynt — the dissident, the provocateur, the unlikely champion of free speech — battles censorship for our right to bad taste and self-expression. Produced by Oliver Stone and written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, the film is spearheaded by Woody Harrelson in his most compelling performance in the title role, supported by Courtney Love as his soul mate Althea and Edward Norton 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.
