Oh yes. "Chato's" is a real pisser as it's the otherwise uncut print, unlike the R1.

It's a scene in a bathroom where Sada (the nymphoid, and somewhat psychotic, maid) yanks the young boy's penis after he starts running round the room misbehaving. The UK release reframes the scene by enlarging the top/far left of the screen so the 'yank' is completely missing (the Catwoman/graffiti scene in Great Rock n' Roll Swindle is edited in a similar way).

The whole bathroom scene only runs for a few minutes and is completely irrelevant (and oddly placed) anyway. Excellent and graphic film but not one to watch when you're eating boiled eggs or sushi.

Hmmm...I wouldn't call it that! It's a lot, lot more than just a grubby sex flick!

I think the BBFC optical edit is a silly thing, but at least they tried something a tiny bit less destructive than a full on cut.

It's astonishing to think that Ferman passed In The Realm Of The Senses uncut (bar for the bathroom edit) for cinema back in 1991. Especially given the hardcore scenes involved. Incidentally quite a few countries preferred to use the BBFC edited print.

BBFC case study on the film here.

I agree that it's far more than simply a sex film. Eggs-actly.

The SE of Fistful Of Dynamite featured the alternate print (Duck You Sucker) which contained a horsefall (hence the cut).
The first UK release of FOD from MGM is uncut.The special edition removes horsefall footage during the bridge ambush.They are not wire-trips but the animals are bought down on rocky ground so they would've certainly suffered grazes & cuts.Genghis Khan (1965) on video was also cut for a similar reason in one scene when a horse falls down a sandy hill backwards.Glory (1989) removed a sidefall for theatrical,video & dvd releasaes which is unusual as it was performed by a specially trained horse & sidefalls are usually passed.The 4 seconds or so of cuts have been left intact in a documentary among the extras !(During a confederate cavalry charge).

Ferman habitually cut films to ribbons, but once in a blue moon he'd be 'controversial' and release an arty-farty film like Senses uncut. Didn't he do the same with Salo? Trying to show what a 'true' fan of film he was. Or maybe he was just a perv

Yeah

Its still odd that Salo was never cut by the BBFC but then again if they think its "art" then they will use that as a excuse. If it was not based on history then I doubt they would have passed it.

He rejected it for cinema but felt it was too important a film to discard or cut, and instead suggested it was shown at licensed film clubs (as Trevelyan did with Flesh). As with the latter the cinema ended up being raided by the police but, unlike the latter, Ferman couldn't give it an uncut certificate. So he ended up preparing a heavily edited version (minus around 6 mins) which could be shown at said clubs. As a result Ferman ended up persuading Callaghan's government to incorporate films within the Obscene Publications Act, so preventing police interference from happening again. Just as well really, as the Act acted as a buffer for In The Realm Of The Senses being given a club certificate.

He never granted Salo a cinema certificate, cut or uncut, in his time as BBFC chief.
