These brief article about Swedish movie ‘Ciao Bella’, which is finding it hard to get international distribution due to some graphic sex scenes, contains the following paragraph:

Pic, which opened on Aug.3 and notched up a respectable 30,000 admissions in 10 days, carries a G rating in Sweden where sex, even among young people, is not considered shocking. By comparison “Borat,” R-rated in the U.S., also received a G rating in Sweden.

Somehow, I was unaware of that, and it surprised me. I wonder if this is something very specific to that country or if it is also a view shared by other European nations.
