MovieDescription: 8 MM STARRING: NICOLAS CAGE, JOAQUIN PHOENIX, JAMES GANDOLFINI. DIRECTED BY: JOEL SCHUMACHER. In this film, a private investigator is hired to find out if a teenage girl, seemingly killed in a snuff film, is still alive. The MPAA rates this movie "R" for sexuality, violence and strong language. This movie takes place in the underworld of hard-core pornography. This world is filled with many less than upstanding characters. The sexuality displayed in the film takes place in snippets of video and film. Without actually showing the gritty details, these snippets give enough information to the viewer to make it clear that the videos contain hard-core pornography and/or killings. As the movie progresses, the main character is pulled deeper into the pornographic underworld. The violence also escalates as the movie progresses. Knives and guns are used throughout the film. Several people are repeatedly kicked. The film's characters use swear words all the time.
