French film Baise-Moi, which is due to be released in Australia by distributor Potential this Thursday (April 25), is being re-examined by the Classification Review Board at the request of the Federal Attorney-General Daryl Williams. The original certification restricted the film to viewers over 18 years of age (R18).

The film also had to be withdrawn from screening at New Zealand's Incredible Film Festival by the High Court two weeks ago after the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards lodged an appeal against the films' R18 classification.

The society was also apparently unhappy about the Japanese movie Visitor Q.
