The debate surrounding "Anora" centers on its explicit sexual content and appropriate rating. Comparisons are drawn to "Midnight Cowboy," the first X-rated Best Picture, illustrating how ratings evolved after the X became associated with adult content. Critics debate whether "Anora" should be rated NC-17, considering its graphic scenes, while acknowledging that not all films need to convey stories solely through explicit content. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of film as an art form, beyond mere storytelling.
The filmmakers must be transparent about the explicit content in "Anora" and its necessity for the storyline, acknowledging the film's more graphic nature.
The history of the X rating reveals its evolution, as the designation was soon tainted by its association with pornography, leading to the establishment of the NC-17 rating.
