Deleted scenes?


Can't find anything on this precisely... but when it first started floating around, people were mentioning a possible 18 rating for violence etc. but the final cut is a mildly passable 12a. Don't get me wrong, it's an exquisite cut of an incredible film, but I'm curious to see if cuts were made. For instance, this Vice article: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/embrace-of-the-serpent-is-a-violent-psychedelic-film-about-the-colonization-of-the-amazon
mentions 'the scene in which many actors are dismembered' and also calls the scene with the messiah 'harrowing'. Am I missing something here?

It seems like it is an inaccurate translation. If you scroll down, at the end of the article, you see it was translated. Maybe the scene they refer to is when they are in the rubber plantation and they find a native with no arms, exhausted and who wants to die.
