Sex: The Revolution

(Sex: The Revolution)
R. Lowe - H. Perry / USA, 2008
English version / Czech subtitles, 88 min

Filled with perceptive, funny interviews and period music, these two episodes from VH1's wide-ranging, fast-paced documentary series on America's 20th-century sexual awakening show how the bedroom door tentatively cracked in the 1950s swung wide open in the '60s and '70s, setting the stage for wife-swapping, nudist retreats, porn blockbusters and debates about the female orgasm. But the sexual revolution wasn't just about making love. As the series demonstrates, the newly liberated atmosphere helped give rise to feminism, gay rights, abortion rights and the bitter culture wars that divide America today.
