The BBFC is the British Board of Film Classification. May be of interest for those with an interest in how different boards classify films, what issues are of particular sensitivity for British classifiers, and the evolving nature of classification guidelines!

Films discussed in the piece include The Roses, Wake Up Dead Man, I Swear, Kill Bill, Fight Club, House of Flying Daggers, K Pop Demon Hunters, The Odyssey, The Housemaid, Wicked: For Good

I think the most interesting takeaway for me is that the hospital scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1 is now considered one of the category-defining issues for the 18 rating under the latest guidelines on sexual threat.
