As an answer to: They have a good distributor written by flyer am 08 May 2001 05:31:36:
.....but the NC-17 rating can be confirmed with www.mpaa.org (gawd, how I hate the MPAA).
They might release it unrated - that's what they did when "The War Zone" was threatened with the same thing. Artisan also took that route recently with "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Center of the World".
The thing that bothers me is how all of the films mentioned above get such treatment from the MPAA, while a film like "Hannibal" easily slips through with an R-rating.
