My Film CITIZEN VIGILANTE Has Been Banned in Germany

For any readers who don’t feel like slogging through a lengthy article about the FSK (Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Film Industry), here is the short summary up front: I shot an English-language action thriller in Croatia starring the US star Armie Hammer—a film that is set to be screened in every other country in the world and will, as a rule, even be accessible to audiences aged 16 and up. In the USA, it premieres on June 19th!

But not in Germany. In the FSK’s view, the film promotes vigilantism; consequently, a review jury—assembled like a broadcasting council, a lay-judge court, or the board of a bowling club—decided not to grant the film an “18+” release rating or label it “KJ” (No Youth Clearance). Instead, they slapped it with the label “KK” (which doesn’t stand for Klu Klux, but rather KEIN KENNZEICHEN—”No Classification”). This means that it isn’t just young people under 18 who are barred from seeing the film—absolutely no one will be able to see it, regardless of age.
