Maitresse - TG4 tonight

Agent Orange

TG4 is certainly pushing the envelope tonight - they're showing Barbet Shroeder's Maitresse.

It was banned in the UK originally, then passed but cut by over 4 minutes. It's been passed uncut since but I didn't think any terrestial broadcaster would touch it with a barge pole.

It's a delightful family film featuring numerous graphic scenes of S&M. These include a sequence in which a poor lad gets his poor lad nailed to a piece of wood - for real. Should make for an interesting evening's viewing!

I missed this last time, but they're showing it again this Friday (5/8/05) if anyone's interested.

I've always complained about TG4 being a waste (especially considering it dedicated an hour long programme about the history of the box last Tuesday :eek: ). But if they continue showing rare foreign films like this and Rohmer's L'Amour l'après-midi I'll forgive them.

Actually i think its a superb channel, the documentaries are excellent. Also they dedicate themselves to foreign and Western Films, which is good too
