Fuck (sometimes titled as F* or The "F" Word) is a 2005 documentary by director/producer Steve Anderson about the social, political, personal, historical, linguistic and artistic significance of the word fuck. It features commentary by a variety of individuals, including linguists, comics, musicians, filmmakers, authors, porn stars, politicians, and media personalities as well as clips from George Carlin, Scarface, Country Joe and the Fish's Woodstock performance, President George W. Bush's one-fingered salute to a camera, various Lenny Bruce performances, U2's Golden Globe acceptance, Paul Robert Cohen's protest and Nipplegate. The movie was shown for the first time on November 7 2005 at the AFI Film Festival, but the theatrical release for the USA is planned for November 10 2006.
Trivia
- The film is dedicated to Hunter S. Thompson, who committed suicide not long after being interviewed.
- It uses the word "fuck" more times than any movie ever made.
- It uses the eponymous word 629 times over 93 minutes, for a total of 6.76 uses per minute.
- Bill Plympton provided the animated segues for the film.
- The film contains a painting (United States Censorship) by Canadian political artist Charles Alexander Moffat.
- Someone keeps changing it back to 629, but the fact is the word is used 800+ times in the film. I own a copy of the film.
