Behind the scenes


The thing that previously got the film banned in Ontario and Oklahoma involved the actor David Bennent, who was eleven at the time and who has some controversial scenes in which he appears to have oral sex and intercourse with Katharina Thalbach. But director Volker Schlöndorff affirmed that throughout the making of these scenes, Ms. Thalbach's entire pubic area and genitals and buttocks were completely covered at all times with a fully opaque cloth material called Duvetyne. Thus, there was a complete barrier that prevented any physical contact between her and Bennent.

Censorship


In June 1997, at the urging of a Christian fundamentalist group, and after viewing a few isolated scenes, an Oklahoma County District Court judge ruled that the film contained child pornography, as defined by Oklahoma's obscenity laws, and was therefore illegal. Oklahoma City police confiscated all copies of the film from libraries and rental outlets, without obtaining the necessary search warrants or court orders. They intimidated video store managers into giving them the addresses of customers with rental copies, went to those homes, and confiscated the movies. The local District Attorney announced that anyone possessing a copy of the movie would be arrested. The D.A. was forced to back down within weeks, and most of the seized videos had been returned by December. By October 1998, after several related lawsuits, U.S. federal courts ruled that the movie did not violate Oklahoma obscenity laws, and the seizure of the videotapes had been unconstitutional. The U.S. Court of Appeals closed the final case in May 2001, and the movie is once again available in Oklahoma County.
