UK LGBTQ+-focused distributor Peccadillo Pictures has claimed that Amazon Prime Video UK is refusing to make Canadian artist and filmmaker Bruce LaBruce’s provocative dark comedy ‘Saint-Narcisse’ available on its online store
Saint-NarcisseCompany MD Tom Abell said its request to list the title on Amazon’s UK online offering had been turned down without explanation.
The film, which is classified as an ‘18’ without cuts by the British Board of Film Classification , had previously been available on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. and France but was removed in May. Abell said: “Whilst this hugely entertaining film is full of the outrageousness and provocations that are Bruce LaBruce’s hallmarks, we have no idea if Amazon’s objections relate to the film’s themes, or to particular sequences, or a combination.”
Responding to the alleged ban, cult director LaBruce said: “It’s almost reassuring to know that I can still be banned or censored in this day and age. What’s interesting to me is that it’s not the sexual explicitness of that is preventing it from being streamed on Amazon Prime – there is none – but the subversive and challenging sexual themes and implications of the film.”
