To avoid the dreaded NC-17 rating during its initial release, Cronenberg had to sanitize the dark satire’s bloodier scenes
, Cronenberg believes that Canada’s ratings boards have become more stringent. “It was very unusual because whereas the MPA is very conservative, you didn’t always have that problem in Canada,” the director says.
Across the rest of the country, Alberta has its own Film Classification Office ; the Nova Scotia Film Classification Board is responsible for the Maritimes; and Quebec has its Ministry of Culture and Communications . “My understanding is that Ontario eliminated its ratings board as a cost-cutting measure, but there was also the argument of why have age-based restrictions for theatres if people can watch anything at home?” Cronenberg says. “This is the rare instance of me agreeing, at least in theory, with Doug Ford. … It’s an awkward system.”that such deregulation would lead to the adoption of a national content advisory system, which hasn’t yet materialized.
