Alexander Skarsgård has revealed that a more explicit cut of his film 'Pillion' exists, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, featuring a BDSM storyline that explores themes of control and kink. Directed by Harry Lighton, the film stars Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and has been described as both a tender romance and graphic exploration, while also having elements removed to appeal to broad audiences. The director noted that certain explicit content was cut to prevent excessive shock, and there may be further edits to adhere to U.S. release standards under A24.
Described as "a touching and frequently hilarious romance", the film follows a man's journey of self-discovery involving kink and control as boundaries blur.
Alexander Skarsgård stated, "There's definitely a raunchier version of this movie... what you've seen is the family-friendly version... there's also the Alexander Skarsgård cut."
Director Harry Lighton mentioned that some scenes, including a close-up shot, were cut to avoid shocking the audience, indicating care in crafting the film's tone.
Harry Lighton also shared that additional edits might occur, including "de-shining" elements to secure a U.S. release, emphasizing sensitivity towards divisive material.
