on dirait que Green Inferno sera proche des Cannibal Ferox/Holocaust : .MPAA Gives R-rating to Green Inferno
Jason McDonald August 30th, 2013 No Comments Hold on. Let’s wait for everyone to finish gasping in shock. Okay, there we go. The Motion Picture Association of America has reviewed Eli Roth’s upcoming “Green Inferno” and decided that the film is deserving of an “R”-rating.
The best part about the rating, though, is the way it’s described by the MPAA:
Rated R for aberrant violence and torture, grisly disturbing images, brief graphic nudity, sexual content, language and some drug use.
What’s so special about it? Well it’s the use of “aberrant” which carries with it a certain weight as it means to “depart from an accepted standard.” The MPAA has a pretty extensive vocabulary, but the word aberrant only appears in a few ratings. Among them include some NC-17 films. Here are a few of the films that have received the distinction of being “aberrant.”
•David Cronenberg’s “Crash” from 1996- Deemed to have aberrant sexual content.
•William Friedkin’s “Killer Joe” from 2011- Contained graphic aberrant content involving violence and sexuality.
•Srdjan Spasojevic’s “A Serbian Film” from 2010- For extreme aberrant sexual and violent content including explicit dialogue.
So there you go, Eli Roth’s “Green Inferno” is joining a club which features “A Serbian Film” as a member. What an honor. Eli should really just get a letterman’s jacket that says “Aberrant” on the back. No other Eli Roth film has managed to meet this high mark, not even “Hostel.” That makes me a little worried about what we’re going to see when “Green Inferno” finally hits.
