I am very curious at this turnaround in attitudes at the BBFC though. Has anything changed there recently? New examiners? New administration?

I do wonder if the complaints received about proposed cuts to Inferno and Deep Red have altered their position somewhat. By that I mean that they always state that they go with public attitudes and opinions, maybe they feel that attitudes towards these old films have changed significantly enough for them to alter their stance and reinterpret the Cinematograph Act. Purely speculative, of course, but it does make you wonder. Quote:

Well! Techinically I don't think they're obliged to cut DVDs under that act, it only applies to movies at the cinema. But they do apply it to DVDs under their guidelines... Not so sure how they do it now after this! |

I wrote to them a while ago asking why they apply the act to DVDs, BDs and other formats designed for home viewing and they replied that the Video Recordings Act (1984) makes the Cinematograph Act (Animals) applicable to those as well as films for public display.

At the time of the Video Recordings Act, the BBFC sought advice from the Home Office regarding the Cinematograph Act and were told that this Act should also be applied to home video.

Having recently revisted the uncut version of Cannibal Holocaust the muskrat scene is still hard to watch but the turtle scene I still had to fast forward through! |

Well this is pretty astonishing news and totally unexpected. Having never seen the movie ( ) but know of its content and powerful reputation, I'll certainly be buying the BD of this. I won't miss the cut 14 seconds. Arrow and Shameless are submitting films to the BBFC that, up until recently, would have had little or no chance of getting through ( Caligula, Island Of Death etc ). Long may it continue! |
