Mikey seems to be on the run the moment we meet him, riding a bus that will drop him off amid the depopulated streets and smoke-belching oil refineries of Texas City. Getting away with things, much like getting off, has long been one of this great American hustler’s favorite pastimes. But then, there may be no real difference. But he’s smiling here for a very different, singularly appalling reason, and it’s worth discovering for yourself suffice to say it has less to do with pleasure than relief. It’s a look we know well by this point: Mikey is a porn star, or at least he was one until recently.
The money shot in “Red Rocket,” Sean Baker’s glorious gutter dive of a movie, is of Mikey Saber (Simon Rex) joyously riding his bicycle, his seamily handsome face twisted into a smile of near-sexual bliss. Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials. He disrobed in “Eastern Promises” (2007) and “Captain Fantastic” (2016), and voters still invited him to put on a tux to the Oscars for both those films.The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic. The one actor who seems to have walked this line? Viggo Mortensen. Society’s acceptance of unfamiliar imagery and themes have made many fearful of what art can “possibly influence upon youngsters” as what was given to the only X-rated best picture winner “Midnight Cowboy” (1969), which was later changed to “R” in 1971.īut, of course, it’s the studios’ job to sell to Oscars voters that any such nudity is in the name of art and not gratuitous. In 1990, NC-17 replaced it to prevent anyone under 17 from being admitted, regardless of parental accompaniment. In 1968, MPAA had the “X” rating to designate explicit and excessive violence and sexuality in films. But they receive an “R” rating when breasts and lady parts are displayed.
Showing a penis in your film typically has been an express pass to a “no rating,” which means that United States exhibitors won’t show your feature. These issues can be traced back to the MPAA. The truth is, there’s no rhyme or reason for what will work with voters when it comes to nudity. Mark Wahlberg, who wore a prosthetic in “Boogie Nights” (1997), also didn’t feel any Academy love. That helped past nominees such as Edward Norton (“American History X”), but not Ben Affleck (“Gone Girl”).

Directors and cinematographers have navigated various ways to shoot blink-and-you-miss-it nudity (even “The Full Monty,” with its four Oscars nominations in 1998, didn’t live up to its title). When it comes to actors showing it all, Hollywood has been a bit conservative.
The latter drama picked up eight Oscar noms, but nothing for Keitel’s soaring work. He landed some of the best reviews for Abel Ferrara’s “Bad Lieutenant” (1992), which won him an Independent Spirit Award, and Jane Campion’s “The Piano” (1993). Harvey Keitel knows what it feels like to be overlooked by AMPAS all too well. At the Cannes Film Festival, where “Red Rocket” premiered in July, the actor declined to elaborate on whether it’s really him or wearing a prosthetic in the scene. Still, it includes an extended streaking scene with the 47-year-old running through the streets of Texas City, Texas. Simon Rex’s visceral work as a former porn star in A24’s “Red Rocket” is on the long list of best actor hopefuls.
