Genre: Musical & Performing Arts

Theatrical Release:13-02-2009

Synopsis: This challenging and provocative documentary takes a look on all sides of the infamous F-word. Its taboo, obscene and controversial, yet somehow seems to permeate every single aspect of our culture... This challenging and provocative documentary takes a look on all sides of the infamous F-word. Its taboo, obscene and controversial, yet somehow seems to permeate every single aspect of our culture - from Hollywood... to the schoolyard to the Senate floor in Washington D.C. It's the word at the very center of the debate on Free Speech - and everyone seems to have an opinion. FUCK will exam how the word is impacting our world today thru interviews, film and television clips, music, and original animation by Oscar nominee Bill Plympton. Scholars and linguists will examine the long history of fuck. Comedians, actors, and writers who have charted and popularized the upward course of fuck will be heard from, often while defending the Constitutional Right of Free Speech, all the way to the Supreme Court. FUCK will visit with those who actually fuck for a living. We'll hear from advocates who oppose fuck and it's infringement into our everyday lives. We'll watch some of the most famous and infamous film and television clips that feature fuck, we'll hear some of the most famous fucks ever uttered and we'll feel the impact of fuck on our everyday lives. -- Official Site [More]

Twelve-year-olds might get a charge out of this purportedly daring documentary celebration of the F-word, although it never occurs to filmmaker Steve Anderson that it might be fun or even genuinely lewd to interview kids on the subject.

Giddy at finding a way to curse in school, it's chock-full of linguists, musicians and porn stars pontificating on the origins and social value of the infamous four-letter word.

Serves as the latest example of the atrocious devolution of mainstream documentary filmmaking into hollow aesthetic flash and superficial sensationalism.

...it's certainly never a good sign when the clips within a documentary are more entertaining than the documentary itself.

At last, a movie that's unafraid to offend Renaissance aficionados and Sammy Hagar!

In terms of entertainment, the movie is consistently amusing, often hilarious, and energetic in its editing.

[The film] provides a highly provocative and humorous overview of a word that, love it or hate it, undoubtedly holds more power than its measly four letters might suggest.

Anderson's film should tour as part of an encapsulating trilogy with The Aristocrats & This Film Is Not Yet Rated into the heartland & beyond as an important statement of where we've come and the f***storm we're headed for.
