I've read this with
incredulity. What language was the dialogue in? Why were the jobsworths at the BBFC unable to find a translator?
This really does seem utterly bonkers. Demanding cuts because the dialogue "might" contain references to something is
utterly grotesque and unwarranted censorship. Maybe anyone who wants to watch a foreign film and can understand the original language without subtitles should obtain it in or from the country where it's made.
