This film (dir. Jarmusch, and starring Johnny Depp, Robert Mitchum, Gabriel
Byrne and John Hurt) has been refused classification in Australia.  I'm
curious to know whether anyone has seen it, and whether it has met with
classification problems in any other country?
 
I think this question has come up before, but can anyone remind me of early
precedents of the tactical inclusion of censorable scenes in the
expectation that cutting them will protect the rest of the movie? (_Casino_
is apparently one recent example).
 
Thanks
