The version I watched was the Shameless Release but I did have the American Version. Regarding the Shameless one, on the extras, I'm pretty sure that they had to battle to get the scenes in. Granted I haven't watched the extras for a long time but I'm pretty sure they mentioned Salo and/or other films which had similar scenes. There was a feature where a University Lecturer was giving a talk.
For the record, I believe that the Vipco version made the Rape scene a lot worse because all you saw were the faces and left it to the imagination. |
Oh, I've got the US release as well, a sick and disturbing treat after the kids version we got handed to us by THEM. Appalling way to treat adults.
