Linda Lovelace

I think he still hasn't found ways to channel pleasure or the image of the pleasure because the whole fireworks... orgasm feels very outdated to me in a

way it's this film that's very much this monstrous object of film history in many ways you know even at the time I think that was something that was playing into it you know this film that arrived in a very specific moment that was quite widely known to be funded by the mob, that had this kind of sordid details around it related to Linda Lovelace.

I think her allegations of abuse against Chuck Traynor came later, but nonetheless, I think the film had that.

You know, it was very much as a cultural phenomenon playing with that sort of danger and that sordidness.

But I feel like almost it's a bit futile for me to talk about it because it almost needs to be put, I think, in a context of that 80s, that later period of Damiano.

To be clear, Deep Throat already had a sequel.

There is already a Deep Throat 2 starring Linda Lovelace.

which I actually don't think is a hardcore pornographic film, as far as I understand.

And everybody's got their story.

What I did get was that it didn't feel, you know, this isn't, this isn't the '70s and Linda Lovelace, you know, doing it because she's coerced.

This is real people saying, "Eh, it's better than, you know, standing on my feet all day at Starbucks."

Right.
