Susan Foreman | 14th August 2013 01:48 PM | It's still banned in Australia! "BAISE MOI (2000) was banned again by the Aussie Censorship Board on the 12th of August. It's not known which version was submitted. Given a PAL running time of 74 mins, it could have been the censored UK version, or the uncensored UK DVD released this year by Arrow.
2001: R 18+ (uncensored 35mm cinema release)
2002: Banned (via attorney general-requested review)
2003: Banned (seizure of VHS and VCD copies)
2013: Banned (ostensibly for DVD)
The recent ban has occurred ahead of a planned broadcast on pay-TV. More than likely this broadcast will not go ahead. On 2nd of February 2013, the UK BBFC passed BAISE MOI uncensored (10 secs of cuts restored) with an 18 rating for cult movie distributor Arrow." |
