Taboo 1

Taboo 1 was released in 1980

Taboo 1 lay the groundwork for a series of incestuously themed full length erotic films. Kirdy Stevens directed the scripts written by his wife Helene Terrie, a sensually committed couple who had no difficulty sharing and exploring their fantasies with the world. The first three of these films starred Kay Parker, who became a sort of poster mom for the epoque. Known for its explicit exploration of the taboo subject of incest, the film sparked significant debate and censorship upon its release.

At its core, Taboo 1 tells the story of a young man who engages in a sexual relationship with his mother following the departure of his father. Their changing relationship has a psychological and emotional impact on the mother. Her perspective is presented in a way that is both explicit and unflinching. This subject matter, which is still considered deeply taboo made the film highly controversial. It was banned in several countries and faced significant censorship in others, yet it also garnered a cult following and became a notable example of underground and exploitation cinema.

Taboo 1 also had a lasting impact on the genre of erotic cinema. The film spawned a series of sequels through the 80s. The writer-director couple made 5 feature length films in total. These included Taboo 1 (1980), Taboo II (1982) and Taboo III (1984), all with Kay Parker. As well as, Taboo IV-The Younger Generation (1985), and Taboo V – The Secret (1986). Their success inspired a mini-series of similarly themed movies under the title Taboo American Style.

While it may not be a film for everyone, its impact on American culture and its role in shaping discussions about censorship and sexuality cannot be denied. Taboo was part of a broader trend, to push the boundaries of what could be depicted on screen, both mainstream and hardcore. It challenged audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about human desire and relationships. In many ways, Taboo is a reflection of its time—a bold, unapologetic exploration of the boundaries of human experience and the limits of what society is willing to accept.
