This is not a romantic love story, Russovoir surprises himself in slapping realization as the film unravels. In his defense, the poster looked immaculate and maternal like Amanda Seyfried plays a woman of influence of her time; Russovoir also didn't catch its trailer or, did it even have one? What is to be publicly trailed without spoiling the fact that it's a graphic biopic of a porn star? It was clever of them to keep marketing minimal, even the posters (below), to overwhelm the audience and reach an orgasm of incredulity and inspiration.
But this is all based on a personal account.
Linda Lovelace (click it) was indeed a woman of influence of her time. Not exactly Nobel Peace Prize. She broke the silence of woman abuse. For seventeen days in the orgy (can be literal) of the lucrative porn industry, she was a dog, 'a poodle with a perm' as her best friend Patsy (Juno Temple) put it, to husband Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard) who has had her on a leash. Lovelace, in hindsight, is only an extended medium of her autobiography Ordeal to those who prefer to spend $12 movie ticket than a $50 book in one day; to those who can't read; to those who prefer to see boobs than imagine; to the visual learners. And definitely, let's not forget, a film crosses borders.
