This Film is Not Yet Rated / USA / 2006
This Film is Not Yet Rated is a pointed and judicious propaganda, and a relevant one if you are a reader of this website. Since the late 60s the MPAA has imposed a rating on every major motion picture release in the United States, and this processs has varied little since its inception. The raters, of which there are only twelve, have never been formally disclosed, their assessment of what is morally acceptable in each rating continues to weigh heavily toward whites and heterosexual sex—there is a brilliant juxtaposition in this film that exhibits R-rated sex scenes, between heterosexual whites, alongside NC-17 scenes that incorporate homosexuality or ethnicity. The differences between these scenes are negligible. The film has reportedly succeeded in convincing Dan Glickman, Jack Valenti’s successor, of the MPAAs arbitrary method of evaluation.
