The director, Harry Lighton, also spoke to the publication and revealed that he removed a shot of an erect penis from the final cut.
“It was purely because I didn’t want to push the audience into feeling they were being deliberately shocked by an image,” he explained. “So for example, there was one close up of a dick, a hard dick … like down the barrel of the lens. And after watching the film on that ‘fuck-off’ screen I thought, yeah, cutting it was probably the right decision!”
The film is apparently subject to further cuts in advance of its US release, with Lighton admitting he has been told to “de-shine” some ejaculation in one shot.
“Apparently that’s what pushes you over the edge!” he said.
The movie, produced by Element Pictures and described by sources close to the project as a “fun and filthy romance with heart,” debuted at the French film festival last weekend.
According to a press release, Pillion follows ‘Colin (Harry Melling), a weedy wallflower letting life pass him by. That is until Ray (Skarsgård), the impossibly handsome leader of a motorbike club, takes him on as his submissive. Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life, introducing him to a community of kinky, queer bikers and taking all sorts of virginities along the way.
The film was warmly received at Cannes, winning rave reviews and an eight-minute-long standing ovation from the crowd, which included Pedro Pascal. Pillion currently has a 100% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 12 reviews.
