Hippie Sentiment: Ratings Board and Canuck Eyeballs

hippie sentiment: An assault on good taste and hippie sentiment, the dirty little flick remains one of the filmmaker's most aggressively outrageous efforts and, for Canadians, the release is particularly special given that Multiple Maniacs is technically still banned from sensitive Canuck eyeballs by our ratings board, as Waters cheerfully recalls, according to Toronto Star. I submitted it to some sort of Canadian distribution centre for underground movies and then I never heard anything back. The underground comedy follows his drag-queen starlet Divine and gang of murderous misfits through a satire of volatile '60s politics and violence. Eventually I wrote a letter and got back a receipt from the Ontario censor board that said destroyed.' That's the best blurb that I've ever gotten, but it did infuriate me. We didn't get a rating this time. That's real censorship, the now 70-year-old filmmaker told the Star recently. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
