L.I.E.

L.I.E. is an independent film released in 2001 about the relationship between a teenaged boy and a pedophile known as "Big John". It was directed by Michael Cuesta and starred Paul Franklin Dano as the boy and Brian Cox as the pedophile. Pederasty is merely suggested, not shown, and there is only one sex scene between an adult couple. Still, the extremely controversial portrayal of "Big John" as human and sympathetic earned the film the NC-17 rating, usually considered the "kiss of death" for a movie.
