Product Overview
11th of March, 1999, and the Lolita (Adrian Lyne, 1997) controversy is running like a feral magic pudding. An article in The Australian newspaper suggests that the Prime Minister will move to ban the film to appease Independent Senator Harradine, whose crucial vote is needed in other matters of State. Everybody denies this. Meanwhile, Liberal Backbencher Larry Schutz, who also has not seen the film, suggests that the academics consulted by the Office of Film and Literature Classification who are preparing to grant the film release with an R18 rating were 'out of touch' with the broader community views on pedophilia.
