Hollywood: No Sex, Please!

2018 · 55 min

A brisk, thought-provoking documentary that explores America's puritanical attitudes toward sex in film with wit and insight.

Directed by
Julia Kuperberg, Clara Kuperberg
Genres
Documentary, Tv movie
Starring
Barbara Weber-Scaff, Linda Williams, Craig Detweiler
Overview
Deep rooted religious beliefs seemingly going back to the Pilgrim Fathers' puritanism dominate a society which is entertained by violence to no end on a daily basis. If it is true that American movies reflect American society, the United States have yet another severe problem: a lack of open sexuality and eroticism.
