1969 film by Andy Warhol
Blue Movie (also known as Fuck and F,k) is a 1969 American erotic film written, produced and directed by Andy Warhol. It is the first adult erotic film depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States, and is regarded as a seminal film in the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984). The film stars Warhol superstars Viva and Louis Waldon.
Blue Movie was released at the Elgin Theater in New York City on June 12, 1969, before the legalization of pornography in Denmark on July 1, 1969. The film helped inaugurate the "porno chic" phenomenon, in which porn was publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert), in modern American culture, and shortly thereafter, in many other countries throughout the world. According to Warhol, Blue Movie was a major influence in the making of Last Tango in Paris (1972), an internationally controversial erotic drama film starring Marlon Brando.
In 2016, Blue Movie was shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
