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?
