Justine De SadeDir Claude Pierson / 1972 / France-Italy-Canada This was Refused Classification in January 1977 due to indecency and indecent violence. The distributor eventually received an R18+ in April 1977 for a reconstructed version. The originally submitted print length ran 2767.70mtr (101min 10sec), whilst the reconstructed print was 2276.69mtr (83min 13sec). Video Classics issued this on tape in the early 80's with a running time of 80min 03sec (v). This is presumably the same as the censored cinema print. An 83min (v) was submitted to the censors in October 1986 by the Queensland Police, it was again confirmed as R18+. An uncut 104min print was resubmitted to the OFLC in November 2003, this time it was passed R18+ (Strong Sexual Violence, Adult Themes). Force Video went on to release this version on DVD.
