This film is banned in Australia. It was initially released to a select audience but the Commonwealth government, by use of police force, closed down the screenings.
In Canada the movie went before the Ontario review board and was originally banned because it was too pornographic. The film was then re-submited to the review board under a pornographic license but it was refused because there was too much violence. But the film had received the right to be shown at the Toronto film festival and was available in the provinces of British-Columbia and Québec. Finally on 8 March 2001 the review board gave the movie an 18A license.
The film Nadine is watching while with her "client" is Seul contre tous (1998).
This sexually-explicit film not only stars two adult film stars, but is also co-directed by one, Coralie.
