(A meta-question, really… Is this the best way to add a movie poster?) :-)

The F-word is taboo, obscene, controversial and ubiquitous, permeating every aspect of our culture-it is the mother of all curse words. Director Steve Anderson takes us on a rollicking exploration of the word’s origins, usages and cultural significance. He assembles a colourful cast of linguists, comedians, US politicians, newscasters and writers including Drew Carey, Bill Maher, Bill Connolly, Sam Donaldson, Kevin Smith, Steven Bochco, Ice T, Alanis Morissette, Michael Medved, Ron Jeremy, Judith “Miss Manners” Martin and Hunter S. Thompson in one of his last filmed appearances before his death. All weigh in on the F-word’s place in our society with positions on its usage that range from “Fck yeah” to “Fck no.” Wonderful archival footage of Lenny Bruce and other historical F-word moments accompany the interviews, as well as original animation by Bill Plympton. In a political climate currently debating freedom of speech in the US, F*ck is a balanced, informative and spirited examination of a word with a lot of history and a lot of power. Shannon Abel
