KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine has banned "Bruno," Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy about a gay Austrian fashion reporter, objecting to its scenes of nudity and homosexual sex, the culture ministry said on Wednesday.

The ex-Soviet state, where conservative views on homosexuality still prevail, had already banned "Borat," Cohen's previous satire aimed at demasking bigotry and anti-Semitism in the United States.

A culture ministry commission concluded "Bruno" included an "artistically unjustified exhibition of sexual organs and sexual relations, homosexual acts in a blatantly graphic form, obscene language, sadism, anti-social behavior which could damage the moral upbringing of our citizens."

Cohen's new incarnation travels to the United States to fulfill his dream of being "the biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler."

Lines like that, as well as his explicit sexuality, gay sex scenes and nudity have shocked some.

But it has proven popular in the United States and Britain, where it reached the top of the box offices.

Ukrainian government are a bunch of cunts...having said that not sure this film is all its been hyped up to be...Ali G series are still way better than any feature film.

Re: Ukraine bans "Bruno"

An election is due in Jan this year in Ukraine this year I believe. Lots of "moral posturing" going on to get themselves back into office, and a nice bit of free press for the movie itself.

The movie is pretty funny - not quite as funny as Borat, but a decent follow up.

For real? Cohen actually has a point to make underneath his comedy. Ferrell is just a goon.

Re: Ukraine bans "Bruno"

maybe .. but it is very intrusive

Re: Ukraine bans "Bruno"

Just watched the film...had a few laughs but nothing special. Borat was much better...I think he should have gone in a different direction with Bruno...taking the piss out of the fashion industry and people who are involved in it rather than going for the gay vibe...I guess his face became too recognizable and signing release forms would have been a bitch. In a way he became a victim of his success.
