Summary Notes
Is there solace in revenge? James Bond (Daniel Craig) and M (Dame Judi
Dench) sniff a shadowy international network of power and corruption reaping billions. As Bond pursues the agents of an assassination attempt on M, all roads lead to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a world-renowned developer of green technology.
Greene, a nasty piece of work, is intent on securing a barren area of Bolivia in exchange for helping a strongman stage a coup there. The C.I.A. looks the other way, and only Bond, with help from a retired spy and a mysterious beauty, stands in Greene's
way. M wonders if she can trust Bond, or if vengeance possesses him. Can anyone drawn to Bond live to tell the tale?

The film was originally seen by the BBFC in an unfinished version, for advice as to the film's suitability at '12A'. The BBFC advised the company that the film would most likely receive a
'12A' as it was, but that care should be taken when finishing the film not to increase the intensity of certain scenes.
When the completed version of the film was submitted for classification, reductions to one of those
scenes had been made and the film was passed '12A' without cuts.
The film including the BBFC cuts became the International Version used for all worldwide releases.

Queen of Black Magic is a classic of Indonesian horror. The dubbing is terrible and the acting is pretty bad, but it offers some gory deaths including the demise of Kohar, who pulls off
his own head in a fountain of arterial gore. If you enjoy watching wild Indonesian cinema, it's a blast.

From IMDb:
The export version is roughly 6 minutes shorter than the Hong Kong theatrical release due to cuts to both of the sex scenes with Black Rose (keeping some of her intimacy with Jimmy, and completely
deleting her tryst with George), as well as trimming some of the film's slower beats.

History
Thanks to Gary:
This
film the distinction of being the first film to use the word cunt (along with Tropic of Cancer, which was shooting in Paris at the same time).
The film has been the subject of discussion and
controversy since it was first released in 1970 and the FBI seized the only English-language copies as they came into the US through customs in San Francisco - consequently the film didn't make it to US theatres. The film has even been described by the
Catholic Bishops Board of Review as a portrait of human depravity. The film was ultimately cleared in Federal Court, but the film mysteriously disappeared shortly after its release.
Summary Review: A portrait of human
depravity
Quiet Days in Clichy is an enjoyable and entertaining expose of the irreverent antics of two friends living a Bohemian existence in the Paris suburb of Clichy during the sexual revolution of the
sixties.
The film is based upon the novel of the same title by American author Henry Miller whose publications were the frequent cause of controversy in the US throughout the author's life.
Nonetheless, it is unlikely to shock an audience of today - the film is neither vulgar nor depraved - it couldn't really be described as pornographic; instead it could be better summarised as intellectual erotica.
It is gentle and humorous. Like life, it lacks a traditional storyline and is, instead, a collection of experiences - some good, some bad, some funny, some not.
