Gazon maudit (1995)
The most interesting fact about the cozily humorous Gazon maudit is that upon its release in the US and A, it was R-rated (in Sweden, 11-year olds could go see the movie). The reason is, obviously, that the story involves love between a pair of women (one of them married, to a man). I have a hard time understanding what made the American censors think that this is a film that corrupts the minds of the young. It's a film about relationship constallations, sexism and also, different standards in the way male and female infidelity are seen. It's not a particularly good movie, though. There's a lot of shouting and door-slamming, but at least the film is not obviously sexist.
