Mark Kermode questions the BBFC's 'new openness'This is an interesting article from Sight & Sound which as the title states, involves Mark Kermode questioning the BBFC on their ‘new openess’. He talks about other film like Romance, Ai no corrida, Saló and Baise-moi and how there subject matter was delt by the BBFC in comparison to Last House on the Left. All those foreign films dealt with rape scene in what seems like a harsher way (e.g. real penetration) whilst in Last House- the scene where cut because the Krug & Company where wielding knifes at the two girls and cut them.
So what Mark Kermode was trying to get at was; is the BBFC biased against not only English speaking films but more importantly the Last House on the Left?
Also I’d like to point out I do use a lot of Mark Kermode’s work because he seems to know a lot about the film and it’s history and was very important in it’s release in the UK.
