Nanking Massacre Scene cut in Eastern Distribution.

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2002)

In Iris Chang's book "The Rape of Nanking" it is mentioned that this film was released in China(possibly Japan) minus 30 seconds of a scene depicting the Japanese attack and treatment of Nanking. Bertolluci was furious and was given an explanation by the man in charge of distribution saying that he thought it was a little too sensitive to be shown to the Chinese People.
