“I really wanted to make a horny film,” Sachs said in a recent interview from Spain, where he was receiving an award. An NC-17 rating precludes anyone under 17 from being admitted, with or without a parent of guardian. It’s also what films are financed, what films are supported by festivals, what films get bought, what films get shown. For Sachs, “Passages” harkens back to an older, mostly European approach to filmmaking. “It’s also a very funny costume party.”Rogowski likewise finds the NC-17 rating absurd.
