Italy court slaps age ban on gory Gibson film |
|
ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court has barred youths under 14 from seeing Mel Gibson`s gory new film, ``Apocalypto``, overthrowing a decision by the country`s censors who had deemed the movie fit for children. The censors drew widespread criticism from politicians and parents` associations last week when they failed to impose any age restriction on the film, unlike most countries where it has been released. Apocalypto is set during the Mayan civilisation. The main character is Jaguar Paw, a hunter whose idyllic jungle life ends when Mayan warriors attack his village, burning huts, raping women and taking men to be human sacrifices. The most gruesome scenes involve an orgy of Mayan bloodletting meant to satisfy their gods and stem an outbreak of smallpox. Human hearts are ripped out of bodies and heads of the victims tossed down the side of a pyramid. The court`s ban is temporary pending a January 17 hearing, a lawyer for Codacons, the consumer group which brought the case in favour of setting an age-limit, said on Monday. ``Even before hearing our arguments, they`ve slapped the ban to safeguard minors,`` Codacons lawyer Marco Ramadori told Reuters. After Italy`s court ban, only Russia is screening the film without an age restriction. The film is R-rated in the United States and has an age-18 certification in Britain and Germany. Culture Minister Francesco Rutelli, who had written to the film`s distributor in Italy recommending they alert the public to the violence of some of the scenes, met the censorship commission on Monday to review current standards. Apocalypto, which hit Italian theatres on Friday, was the second most viewed film at the weekend after James Bond`s latest adventure ``Casino Royale``.
