Ukraine ban for 'explicit' Bruno 乌克兰禁播Bruno电影

Bruno has fallen foul of the censors in Ukraine, who claim Sacha Baron Cohen's raucous new comedy could "damage the morality" of its citizens.

乌克兰的检查员与Bruno有冲突,称Sacha Baron Cohen的粗声的新喜剧会损害市民的“美德”。


Bruno is currently topping the box office in both the US and UK

The Ukrainian ministry of culture told local film distributor Sinergia it had "decided to ban all showings of this film on Ukrainian territory".

Bruno, it said, "contains unjustified showing of genital organs(生殖器)".

In addition, the film depicts(描述) what the ministry calls "homosexual perversions(误用)" in an "explicitly realist manner".

Rated 18 in the UK, Bruno sees Cohen playing a gay Austrian fashion reporter who travels to the US to make his name.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has warned audiences the film contains "strong sex and sex references".

'Artistically unjustified'

Cohen's previous comedy, Borat, was denied a distribution licence in Russia for poking(刺,戳) fun at its neighbour and close ally Kazakhstan.

However, it is Bruno's treatment of homosexuality that has enraged officials of the conservative Ukraine.

Nine members of the culture ministry's 14-person commission voted for a total ban of the film, currently topping the box office chart on both sides of the Atlantic.

The commission cited the film's "artistically unjustified exhibition of sexual organs and sexual relations, homosexual acts in a blatantly(公开地) graphic form, obscene(下流的) language, sadism(虐待狂) [and] anti-social behaviour" as the reasons behind its decision.
