Does the First Amendment give moviemakers the right to have characters scream obscenities in the homes of faithful Mormon families? Ray Lines created a profitable business by scrubbing films for Utahans whose faith forbids them to partake of R-rated movies. Sex, violence, and vulgarities disappear from mainstream films and the nascent cottage industry attracts fierce competitors, all eager for a piece of the skinless trade. Despite the demand, the specter of censorship and issues of fair-use and copyright protection are raised by the Directors Guild of America. Famous filmmakers Michael Mann, Steven Soderbergh, and Mormon drop-out Neil LaBute object to the editing of their work. The courts rule. The business changes but does not disappear. And just when you think this film is a nice, cozy intellectual legal narrative about religion and art and freedom of expression, it takes a turn. Turns out the R-rated action isn’t just confined to the screen in the dark editing rooms at the back of the store. CLEANFLIX skillfully chronicles the jaw-dropping rise and fall of the controversial “clean” movement—the censorship issue doesn’t get much more entertaining than this!
