Latest MPAA Ratings: #70
The official reason for Lust, Caution's NC-17 is in
 |
I think it is hilarious that while at Comic Con Saw IV director Darren Bousman told the audience that Saw IV was awarded an NC-17 for how intense the film is, not necessarily the gore. Then, today we get the official rating as an R.
Why do I think this is hilarious? Well, because it comes out the very same day that Ang Lee's new thriller Lust, Caution gets its official rating of NC-17 and Focus is going to keep it. Wouldn't it make more sense for a gorefest like Saw to keep its NC-17 rather than a foreign language thriller? Maybe it's just me, but it is nice to see at least one film with balls to release their original vision.

Why is Lust, Caution NC-17 if it only has some explicit sexuality? Is there even nudity? I guess I'll just have to find out this fall…
Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere talked to a publicist and this is what he wrote, 'The publicist declined to be specific but used terms like "hot," "f**king sexy," "aggressively sexual" and the like.'
Then Dennis Lim at the New York Times referred to the scenes as "notably revealing and acrobatic."
