'Clenching' Buttocks in Costume Drama Offend UK Moviegoers
Latest
A movie about JMW Turner, the famous nineteenth-century British painter, featured butt shots so “vigorous” that the film inspired the most complaints from UK viewers in 2014.
The British Board of Film Classification, which rates films in the UK, releases an annual list of movies that generated the most noise from concerned citizens. This year, the BBC reports, the honor goes to Mr. Turner, a much-lauded historical drama about the painter JMW Turner, which inspired a minuscule 19 complaints about a certain scene involving butt-clenching. To put that into context, the current record is held by The Dark Knight, which garnered 300+ letters.
