Although some called the very fact China has released Bohemian Rhapsody a win for the LGBT+ community, documentary filmmaker and LGBT+ activist Fan Popo told CNN that he found this view “dangerous”.
A heavily censored version of Bohemian Rhapsody, with all LGBT+ content removed, has been released in China.
Some of the cut scenes were integral to the film’s plot.
The film was shown in a limited number of arthouse cinemas over the weekend, with ABC News reporting that around four minutes’ worth of footage was cut.
