Banned by the BBFC for 1965 cinema release. Later cut by the BBFC for an X
rated cinema release in 1968. Uncut and BBFC 15 rated for UK home video. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review After being forcefully inducted as a soldier into war in
14th century Japan, his wife and mother remain living in a swamp. They eke out their living by ambushing worn-out warriors, killing them and selling their belongings to a greedy merchant. The woman comes to mistrust her daughter-in-law who has coupled up
with a deserter, and begins to wear a facial mask she has taken from a slain samurai. Soon the mask will not come off again. In this disguise she is at first taken for a demon by her daughter. The ensuing drama is a tale of their
sexual tension in the high summer heat, which is exemplified by the swaying of the reeds/grass, the faster the reeds blow in the wind the higher the sexual tension. Shindo also uses Black and White to stunning effect at a time
when it was probably easier to film in colour. This is a Cinematic Masterpiece!

1990 18 rated cinema and 1991 VHS release. The uncut International Version was passed 18 by the BBFC for 2002 DVD and is MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review A young opera singer (Betty) gets her big
chance when the previous star of a production of Verdi's Macbeth is run over by a car. Convinced the opera is bad luck she accepts, and becomes the target (in Argento's unmistakable style) of a psychopath - a man she has been dreaming of since childhood.
One of Argento's most dizzying works but also one of his most enjoyable. This being Argento's ninth giallo, he knew all the conventions inside out, so he plays with them mercilessly, using flashbacks, jump
cuts, juxtapositions in a captivating way.

Oppenheimer - 2023 UK/US historical biography by Christopher Nolan
Oppenheimer is a 2023 UK/US historical biography by Christopher Nolan Starring
Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon
Uncut by western film censors but the film was cut in India for nudity. Summary Notes The story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the
development of the atomic bomb.
India: Cut in July 2023 India's film censors have made cuts to a nude scene in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Florence Pugh's naked body and breasts have been blacked out
with a CGI mess supposed to indicate a black slip. Pugh plays Oppenheimer's girlfriend Jean Tatlock, to whom Oppenheimer briefly returns for an assignation during his later marriage. She functions in part as a device to introduce the audience to
Oppenheimer's interest in Hindu mythology -- and in ancient Sanskrit texts such as the Bhagavad Gita , which form the foundations of Hindu religious narrative. At one point during their love--making -- mid-huff, mid-puff -- Pugh-as-Tatlock rises from
Oppenheimer's body to trawl his bookshelf, picks up a copy of the Bhagavad Gita and clambers back onto her lover's midsection as she opens it and begins to read aloud. Thus the film introduces a line which is now core to Oppenheimer's personal legend:
Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. There were calls from religious groups to remove the references to hindu mythology. Uday Mahurkar is one of India's two information commissioners. He condemned the sex scene as waging a war on the
Hindu community. If Nolan did not remove the scene, he insisted, it would constitute a deliberate assault on Indian civilisation.

becomes bored and wanders away. She fetches up at the local railway halt, where she is first entertained to tea by the garrulous, hunchbacked station keeper, then upset by the intrusion of the latter's assistant Ewen, who proceeds to kill a rabbit in her
presence. Making her way back to the match, Pauline is waylaid by the simple-minded Ewen as she crosses an apple orchard; when his advances become violent, she tries to fight him off and he strangles her. That evening, the hunchback discovers Ewen with
Pauline's body in the shack where he lives, and helps him to bury the corpse in the orchard. Later, however, Ewen inadvertently betrays himself: the body is disinterred by the police and Ewen breaks down hysterically. Years later, the hunchback, who has
disavowed Ewen, encourages the friendship of another village youth. Peter Jessop's carefully textured camera work ...

The Dutch release is uncut and 16 rated for:
The German release is uncut and 16 rated for:
See review from IMDb : Best Sex Scenes The film's plot, script, and
acting are only average, but the film is buoyed by some sizzling chemistry between Jolie and Banderas. Their sex scenes are extremely memorable, so make sure you get an un-edited version (unrated). This is an interesting
movie for a few reasons. As stated above, the sex scenes are among the best ever filmed. It is also novel to see a film about a man who is actually obsessed about his own wife. I personally could identify with Banderas in his willingness to give up
everything for woman he knows he cannot trust. Heck, it happens to the best of us. |

Nunsploitation shocker about a series of brutal murders in a depraved convent. And while his cinematic legacy may remain controversial, Mattei delivers a surprisingly stylized yet undeniably blasphemous orgy of stabbings, stigmata, Satanism, violence and
graphic savagery that ranks among his very best. Versions

US but later R rated. Promotional Material The Other Side of Madness (1971) returns nearly 50 years after its initial release! An avant-garde retelling of the infamous Manson Murders, The Other
Side of Madness brings audiences closer to the events than most filmmakers have dared to go, with real life footage of Spahn Ranch and music performed by Charles Manson. Directed by Frank Howard and produced by Wade Williams, this hypnotic film served as
one of the first Helter Skelter recreations, filmed so close to the time of the events that Manson and his followers had yet to be sentenced for the vicious crimes.

Comment: It's a reconstruction of the Manson "family" murders 'in realistic detail', to quote the sleeve. It's not very violent at all and could easily be cut today. It was rejected
for largely political reasons within the BBFC. It's actually a rather good film.

appealed the decision hoping for a PG-13. They won their case and the film was reclassified PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual references and language. The BBFC Insight (for an uncut 12A Theatrical release) reveals that the film has 4
uses of strong language, 3 more then the usual maximum limit for a US MPAA PG-13 rating. Presumably the reason for the initial R rating.

v Out for Justice
- 1991 USA crime action thriller drama by John Flynn.
Out for Justice is a 1991 USA crime action thriller drama by John
Flynn. With Steven Seagal, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach.
The film was originally cut for an MPAA R rating in the US and these cuts have persisted into all VHS, DVD and Blu-ray releases since. No further BBFC cuts required for an 18 rated cinema release in 1991, but the BBFC cut the follow up
18 rated VHS video for violence. The BBFC cuts were waived in 1990 for DVD Summary Review: Martial arts bar room brawl Brooklyn cop Gino Felino receives a phone call alerting him that his best friend
Bobby Lupo has been shot dead in broad daylight on 18th Avenue in front of his wife Laurie Lupo and his two kids by drug kingpin Richie Madano, who has been Gino and Bobby's enemy since childhood. As Gino is hunting Madano down, Gino discovers the motive
behind Bobby's murder. This is when Gino's hunt for Madano leads to the showdown of a lifetime. With this entry Steven Seagal and director John Flynn delivered one of the most enjoyable action thrillers from the past 15 years. Out
For Justice also show cases one of the best martial arts bar room brawl fight scenes ever put to film. Seagal in his day was hugely popular simply because his movies were violent and he was enjoyable to watch as he snapped arms, legs and anything else
that came his way.

- The deli ambush is missing a single close-up
shot of Gino pinning a thug's hand to the wall with a meat cleaver (1 sec). Resulting in the rearrangement of footage to accommodate the edit.
- The fight in the pool hall has lost (8 secs) of Gino wrapping-up a cue-ball in his handkerchief - the
BBFC clearly trying to disguise this makeshift weapon - resulting in the loss of the following dialogue: ...there's only two things stopping you - fear and common sense...and I'm gonna cut your fuckin' head off
- The raid on Gino's home
has been cut, deleting (7 secs) of Gino wrestling with an attacker and shooting him point blank in the head.
- The final showdown in the kitchen between Gino and Richie (William Forsythe) is missing (26 secs). Gone is the sequence in which Richie
attacks Gino with a knife, only to have his wrist snapped, then a rolling pin, which Gino takes away and proceeds to club him with, after putting Richie's head through a window.
