Throat: A Cautionary Tale (2009) Paul Thomas

A beautiful young woman is found dead in a field amidst shards of broken glass. Who was she? Why did she die? Who killed her? We move back in time to her life as a young student, waiting tables, unable to make ends meet. She takes a job in a peep show where she learns, to her great amazement, that the seat of her sexuality is in her throat. Suddenly her sex life, always a pretense of pleasure, changes dramatically. But where she sees pleasure, her boyfriend sees profit… and pushes “The Girl With The Golden Throat” up the ladder of success, from peep show to private clients to featuring in a major club called The Zone. Tired of being used, she snaps, and attempts to bite off the cock of the biggest porn star in history, leading to her own tragic demise. And of course, during the autopsy, the coroner and his assistant find something in her throat they’ve never seen in any throat before: A clitoris, a tiny bit of flesh that made and unmade the life of a lovely young girl.

Award Winning director Paul Thomas brings you an updated treatment about a girl whose clitoris is located in her throat. Unlike the original “Deep Throat” which was a comedy, Throat, a Cautionary Tale is an epic drama that plays as well as any mainstream movie featuring a superb screenplay by Raven Touchstone and exceptional performances from its all-star cast. Sasha Grey in particular gave a stellar performance which may have been the impetus for Steven Soderbergh to cast her in his mainstream film The Girlfriend Experience. Penny Flame, Lee Stone, Tom Byron and Herschel Savage round out the all-star cast. Showtime documented the production of the movie for its cable TV series called Deeper Throat showing the trials and tribulations that went into making this movie.
