Tenet is a 2020 UK / USA action Sci-Fi thriller by Christopher Nolan. Starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki.
Armed with only one word -- Tenet -- and fighting
for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.
The film has been cut in the UK for a 12A rated cinema
release. The BBFC passed the film 12A for moderate violence, threat, domestic abuse, infrequent strong language after BBFC advised pre-cuts. The BBFC commented:
- This film was originally seen for advice. The company was advised it was likely to be classified 15 uncut but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by making small changes to one scene to remove shots of a man
kicking a woman. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the shots in question had been removed and the film was classified 12A.
This comment refers to the scene where Elizabeth Debicki's character is on the floor and Kenneth Branagh's kicks her in the body several times. In the US the film was MPA PG-13 rated for intense sequences of violence and action, some suggestive
references and brief strong language. Presumably the US release is uncut, but as the film is a UK/US co-production it is remotely possible that the cuts have been made to a common version.
