What happens in America is if a film cannot get an R-rating, most multiplexes will not show it. HBO will show anything. They won't show hard-core sex, but there's no private entity like the MPAA that tells them what they can and cannot show. So shows like Tell Me You Love Me, for instance -- is that on here? That aired last summer in the States. It was about three couples in sex therapy. It shows them having sex and it's very graphic. And the images of sexuality in that show would clearly get an NC-17 if it was shown in theaters, but they can show it on TV. Show less «
