120 beats per minute—double the pace of a resting heart—disco pulses with energy, igniting desire and quickening the pulse. Back in the 1970s, as eroticism stormed the cinema and intimacy stepped out of the shadows into public view, disco emerged as the official anthem of the sexual revolution. This film explores the unexpected links between disco and adult cinema, revealing how explicit themes gradually infiltrated mainstream pop culture.
