In the early 1980s, a small wave of independent American films tested the limits of the First Amendment and cinematic decency. One notable example was the 1980 film Taboo, directed by Kirdy Stevens. It was shot on a shoestring budget in San Diego and became infamous for crossing a line that mainstream Hollywood never dared approach: depicting a sexual relationship between a mother and her adult son. The film was not a mainstream release but found an audience through adult theaters and later home video. Taboo -1-4- Taboo American Style -1-4- Collec...
