Milos Forman directs Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love and Edward Norton in this "smart, funny, shamelessly entertaining" film called "a blazing triumph" by The New York Times. Based on a true story of the notorious Hustler publisher who was sued by the Religious Right and paralysed by a fanatic's bullet, The People vs Larry Flint is a stranger-than-fiction comedy about one man's outrageous public persona and eccentric private life. The film chronicles Flynt's raunchy business savvy, his wildly unconventional marriage and his infamous courtroom antics, The People vs Larry Flint is "the most scintillating and outrageous message movie of the decade.
