Freaks Was Rejected by British Censors Twice
American horror movie Freaks was produced and directed by Tod Browning in 1932. The movie bombed both critically and commercially upon its initial release, and because of its contentious subject matter and portrayal of handicap, it was outlawed in many nations, including the UK. The movie wasn’t released with a “X” classification until the 1960s in the United Kingdom after being rejected by censors and prohibited for its frightening material. Today, Freaks is regarded as a work of critical and aesthetic excellence unmatched by its peers.

The Silence (banned in argentina because of “obscenity”)
Ingrid Thulin and Gunnel Lindblom star in Ingmar Bergman’s 1963 Swedish drama The Silence (Tystnaden). The film examines themes of loneliness, sexuality, and mortality while focusing on the relationship between two sisters and their emotional separation from one another. The Silence was virtually banned in Argentina after its premiere when the government seized copies of the movie because it had violent and sexual themes. Due to its sexual nature, the movie caused controversy in other nations, but it wasn’t as heavily censored there. Nevertheless, the movie got favorable reviews from critics and is regarded as a masterpiece of global cinema and a significant contribution to Bergman’s body of work.
