The movie Love , Gaspar Noé, joins the closed circle of the films for those over 18, with Fuck me or Nymphomaniac. Like its predecessors, Gaspar Noé film owes to its non-simulated sex scenes. This was decided by the Administrative Court of Paris Monday. The judge referred in a decision dated July 31, has indeed suspended the operation of the visa film shown on French screens since July 15, along with a ban on under 16.
The court had been seized by the Promoting Association, an organization that aims to “promote Judeo-Christian values in all areas of social life.” The judge agreed with him, saying that “repetition” and “significance in the scenario” of non simulated sex scenes are “likely to offend the sensibilities of minors.” Yet in June and early July, the National Cinema Centre works Classification Committee (NCC) had recommended a ban for under 16 only. A notice followed by the Minister of Culture for the endorsement early July.
Presented at the last Cannes Festival, this film in 3D tells the relationship between two young people through flashbacks interspersed with voices off, and shows many scenes of sex, not simulated in part, sometimes in close-up: a man a woman masturbating to ejaculation, a love scene with three, another in a swingers club, with a transvestite.
An excerpt (harmless) of the film Love
“Nothing shocking”
Vincent Maraval, co-producer of the film, regretted this decision at Twitter. “The decision is now in the hands of the State Council. We should know more about France very soon, “he has written, suggesting he planned to appeal the decision. “When we say we want to make a film about a passionate love, actually making a film where people love, kiss, make love”, said the Argentine director in July 51, already author the controversial Irreversible in 2002, and that Love has “nothing shocking”.
In Libération, Gaspar Noé condemns the ruling , believing be “out front to an absolute anachronism.” “This anachronism is that of reactionaries, but also in other contexts, that of the Islamic state. What is shocking is not that it exists, but that France sided with this anachronism, she listens. This is nonsense! “
A ban that the director considers ineffective regarding the protection of youth:” Today’s teens are not buying DVDs and when they want to see a movie, they download. So it is quite possible that this decision creates an increase in hacking of my film. “Another risk, he said:” Filmmakers or producers may start to be afraid. There is a risk that the filmmakers or writers censor themselves. “
Even punishment for Saw 3D
Christophe Tardieu, Deputy Managing Director of the CNC, the decision of the Administrative Court of Paris is not really however a surprise: “We will certainly decide to ban the film to under 18, the film will continue to have a room alive,” he said. The film is not released in 33 theaters in France, including 7 in Paris, according to the account mentioned in the order.
The association had obtained Promote June 1, before the Board of State, cancellation of license to permit the American horror film Saw 3D. Final chapter , hitherto forbidden to under 16 but the association felt should be forbidden to all minors.
