Supreme Court in Japan Upholds Mapplethorpe

Entertainment

The Supreme Court of Japan on Tuesday overruled a 2003 Tokyo High Court decision and decided that “Mapplethorpe,” a book of erotic photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-89), shown at right in a self-portrait, did not violate obscenity laws, The Associated Press reported. The decision should pave the way for sale of the book in Japan for the first time in eight years. Although it decided that the book was not indecent, the Supreme Court rejected a demand by the publisher, Uplink, for government compensation of $20,370, according to Takashi Ando, a spokesman for the court. Takashi Asai of Uplink had been contesting the confiscation of the book in 1999 and his voluntary suspension of its sales in 2000 in response to police warnings. In the Supreme Court decision, by a majority of the five-judge bench, Justice Kohei Nasu wrote that the 384-page volume of black-and-white portraits, including 20 close-ups of male genitalia, “compiles work from the artistic point of view, and is not obscene as a whole.” Mr. Asai sold about 900 copies of the Japanese version of “Mapplethorpe,” originally published in Japan by Random House in 1994 without objection from the authorities. But airport customs officials, declaring the book obscene, confiscated Mr. Asai’s copy when he returned from a trip to the United States in 1999. He called the Supreme Court decision “groundbreaking” and said it “could change the obscenity standard” used for banning foreign films that depict nudity and for censoring photographs in books.

On May 20 a five-day competition underwritten by the government will feature films from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf and Arab states. Planned as an annual event and including the participation of film critics from the region for the first time, the festival will take place in the eastern city of Damman under the auspices of the Damman Literary Club and the Saudi Society of Arts and Culture. Films were exhibited in private clubs in Saudi Arabia until all public screenings were banned in the early 1980s on the ground that they contravened Islamic law. Nevertheless, cafes in main cities show films, sports and video clips on large-screen televisions.

In a statement released by her press agent, Ms. Sherawat, whose 17 kissing scenes in her Bollywood debut, “Khwahish,” created a stir, said: “I find that in most mythological and spiritual film stories, women seem to be lacking any true wisdom or a sense of humor. I look forward to bringing both of those qualities to this character.”.

Games Pay Off for NBC

Entertainment

The combination of “Deal or No Deal” and the new game show “My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad” lifted NBC to a solid No. 1 finish in the ratings on Monday. Nielsen estimated that the new series, which pits father-child teams against one another, attracted 9.8 million viewers at 9 p.m., a respectable showing, but far less than the 16.9 million who tuned in for “Deal or No Deal” at 8 p.m. Opposite the game shows, however, the finale of ABC’s “Dance War” averaged 9.1 million viewers while earning the show’s lowest ratings among adults 18 to 49. ABC ranked fourth over all, trailing with “October Road” (4.4 million) at 10 p.m. behind NBC’s “Medium” (8.5 million) and CBS’s “CSI: Miami” repeat (9.6 million). CBS finished second for the night behind NBC, but third among adults 18 to 49, behind NBC and Fox, which got a boost in that demographic from the finale of “Prison Break” at 8 (7.4 million) and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” at 9 (8.1 million). On Sunday NBC’s “Knight Rider” (12.7 million) drew the highest ratings in the 18-to-49 age group for a made-for-television movie on any network in almost three years.
