| | The Observer Food monthly The story behind Baise-Moi |
 | | On its French release in June 2000, Baise Moi was initially cleared for over-16s, the norm for a film containing graphic sex or violence. |
 | | But following intense lobbying by Promouvoir - a religious organ of the extreme-right, with links to the neo-fascist MNR (a splinter group of Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front) - the State Council withdrew the film's visa d'exploitation or commercial certificate, thereby effectively banning it, all in the name of 'Judaeo-Christian values'. |
