What is Sbs Flick?
1.
A tittilating, arthouse foreign film likely to be screened late at night on the Australian TV station SBS.
The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) is a government-funded television station with a focus on "multicultural" and niche programming. Although it broadcasts many arthouse foreign films, it has gained a reputation for screening content late at night (and particularly on Friday and Saturday nights) which, while not pornographic, contains erotic scenes, themes and/or nudity.
Analogous Hollywood films include "Blue Lagoon", "Porky's" and "Basic Instinct", while classic examples of SBS flicks are Pedro Almodovar's Spanish "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down", the Italian coming-of-age film "Malèna", the Japanese comedy "The Weather Girl" and the German thriller "Killer Condoms" about, you guessed it, homicidal condoms with teeth.
