The film Love Gaspar Noé, released last July 15 in France, is now crowned with a classification banning the film to people under 18. What infuriated the director.
This is the first operating visa Love the prohibited under 16. On 3 August, the Paris Administrative Court suspended the visa and banned the film to people under 18 years. An intervention which react strongly the production of the film.
The producer and distributor, Vincent Maraval, wrote on Twitter: “In France, love is now no under 18″.
“Behind this decision, lobbying and strategy of promoting association, obsessed with film prohibitions. The agency close to the extreme right and directed by Patrice Andre (lawyer, close to Mégret Manif and for all), had sued the decision of the Ministry of Culture not only to ban the film less 16 years, “wrote Clement Ghys Monday film critic in the daily Libération .
Furthermore, in the same article, the film’s director, Gaspar Noé, protested against this decision, which he believes will encourage filmmakers to censor themselves and will encourage young people to illegally download the movie. “The truth is that today’s teens are not buying DVDs and when they want to see a movie, they download it. So it is quite possible that this decision creates an increase in hacking of my film. ”
Presented out of competition at Cannes, the film was booed by spectators.
Love released in Quebec next November 27 and will be distributed by Seville movies. It will be viewed and examined, like all films, the Régie du cinéma du Québec, which do not necessarily follow the French classification.
“We have not seen it yet, so I can not tell you what will be its ranking. We will apply the same criteria as usual, we will examine the nature of the content. Surely we will approach the classification of France, but remains to be seen whether it will be forbidden for under 16 or 18 years, “says Esther Tremblay of the Régie.

Few films for those over 18 years
Mainstream films (excluding sexploitation films) coming out in the dining room and are classified for those over 18 years can be counted on the fingers of one hand, both France and Quebec.

In France, Le Figaro points out that since 2000, only 11 films have received a ban for under 18.
How do you grade the movies?
Quebec’s Régie du cinéma is the government agency responsible for the classification of mainstream films. There are four classifications: general, 13+, 16+ and 18+.
Several themes are analyzed by examiners of Corporation violence, sexuality, controversial issues or subjects (suicide, drugs, incest, disturbing situations, etc.), attacks against individuals and phenomena of psychopathology. “We have our own values in Quebec, which are different in certain countries or provinces. We follow what makes social consensus, “says Esther Tremblay, adding that the board may add some comments to a visa.
If a film which received the general visa can strike children under 8 years old, the words “not recommended for young children” will be added. The classification of all films is explained on the Régie’s website.
