How did Scrapbook fare? I've wanted to see that for a while. |
Yes you're right there regarding the first AU film, most of that opening scene which is about 15m in length would have to go for an 18. I thought it was pretty shocking as well as degrading. The BBFC aren't going to like it either. I haven't seen the sequels although I was tempted to watch Mordum the other day. Judging by what you say the sequels will either be banned or subjected to very heavy cuts. They may as well reject them.
Scrapbook was cut by over 15m by the BBFC in 2003. A record. I watched the film shortly after and am not surprised by the cuts. The films scenes of graphic rape, torture and sexual humiliation go way beyond anything that will ever be acceptable to the BBFC. Some of it was verging on hard core.
