Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Video works classified in this category are suitable for persons of eighteen or over. It is an offence for a retailer to sell
or rent a film classified 18 to any person below that age.
One of IFCO’s guiding principles is that adults (i.e., persons over 18) should be free, within the law, to choose what they
wish to view.
The IFCO website provides consumer advice on films rated in this category as practical information regarding film content
is appreciated by the cinema-going public.
