Martin Scorsese’s latest venture has raised eyebrows in Uganda for its unabashed focus on greed, lashings of s3x and nudity, and copious use of the F-word.
It has the immoral scenes like the movie’s g@y 0rgy, Jonah Hill masturbating and Leonardo DiCaprio blowing cocaine up a woman’s bottom with a straw.
Uganda and other countries are now curtailing the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film has been banned outright in Malaysia, Kenya and Nepal while India, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon have censored some scenes deemed offensive.
In other countries, like Singapore, the movie has been given an ultra-restrictive rating and only opened in a handful of theaters.
“Some of the content in the film makes it difficult in certain territories where they have censorship and can even ban films,” said Christian Mercuri, president of international at Red Granite, the production and financing firm behind the movie.
“It certainly concerns us that anyone is cutting our film, but every territory is different.”
