Not a "warning label", but I think we should try to put 
descriptive/summary notes (520 in MARC) in the catalog for as many 
materials as possible, and I would note in the record for this film 
that it is a "tragicomedy" with poignant elements as well as 
containing very humorous material.  This is in accord with the 
reviews I just read of the film.
   Maybe some people will say that any sort of caveat equals 
"censorship," but I think it's doing a service to provide 
descriptions of the materials whenever possible, and the patron can 
check the catalog to help make decisions about borrowing materials.
