The softcore and hardcore movies of Claude Mulot that have been cut or banned in Australia. He directed some of these under the name Frédéric Lansac.
The X-rating, for hardcore sex, was introduced in February 1984.
Pussy Talk
aka Pussy Talk – Le sexe qui parle
Directed by Claude Mulot / 1975 / France / IMDb
In January 1976, a 2513.60-meter (91:37) print of PUSSY TALK was banned because of ‘indecency’.
Filmways was the applicant.
Hardcore video release?
In August 1984, Blake Films had an 88-minute video of PUSSY TALK passed with the newly introduced X-rating.
It was awarded for sex, which was found to be:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
It is unclear if this version was ever issued.
Censored VHS
Palace Entertainment Corporation was no doubt aiming for an R-rating when they submitted a 70-minute ‘edited version’ in August 1988.
Instead, they received an X-rating, despite the sex now being classed as:
Frequency: Infrequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
A 70-minute video passed with the same rating and for the same reasons in September 1988. This had presumably been further edited.
On the same day, a slightly more censored 69-minute version received an R-rating for sex, which was now found to be:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: Medium
Purpose: Gratuitous
This R-rated Palace Vibrant release ran 69:26.
Blue Ecstasy
Directed by Claude Mulot / 1976 / France / IMDb
In May 1977, a 1939.50-meter (70:42) print of BLUE ECSTASY was banned because of ‘indecency’.
A 1645.00-meter (59:57) ‘reconstructed version’ was passed with an R-rating in October 1977.
Consolidated Exhibitors were the applicant.
Same title, different film?
In October 1983, a 65-minute tape called BLUE ECSTASY was banned by the Censorship Board. The reason given was sex, which was said to be:
Frequency: Infrequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
A 65-minute video was finally passed with the newly introduced X-rating in February 1984.
In both cases, Italvideo was the applicant.
It is unclear if this is the same film as the May 1977 submission. The National Classification Database lists it as a French and Italian co-production, with the Producer being J. Desvilles.
Presumably, this is Jean Desvilles (AKA Georges Fleury), who is listed in the IMDb as a Director of of many French adult films.
Shocking
Directed by Claude Mulot / 1976 / France / IMDb
In September 1978, a 1945.70-meter (70:55) print of SHOCKING was banned because of ‘indecency’.
Blake Films were the applicant.
La Grande Baise
Directed by Claude Mulot / 1977 / France / IMDb
In November 1976, a 2262.00-meter (82:27) print of LA GRAND BAISE was banned because of ‘indecency’.
Warner Brothers Australia was the applicant.
