The film had a successful world premiere screening on Tuesday at a gala in Bangkok. But censors have since intervened to demand five scenes be cut and to impose a 20+ rating on the Five Star Production picture.
The scenes that have caused offense involve the fictional monk engaging in heated arguments and the embrace of an older woman, who may or may not be his mother. While Buddhism is not legally defined as the country’s official religion, Thai authorities have repeatedly targeted films and TV shows that depict monks in anything but saintly behavior. Cannes-winning Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s 2006 film “Syndromes and a Century” was previously banned for showing a fictional monk playing a guitar and a scene in which two doctors kissed.
