“The international version of the film Three Wishes for Cinderella for distribution outside Norway and the version we have at our disposal do not contain the moment of a two men’s kiss at all. We all consider Cinderella to be ours, but this film and the Norwegian version of Three Nuts we are working with a version intended for foreign distribution, “explained Lukáš Vedral from Bontonfilm.
According to him, the question of why the versions differ can only be speculated. “We personally believe that this is a sign of distrust and fear that viewers outside Norway would not accept such a moment,” said Vedral, who added that Bontonfilm will try to release a Norwegian unedited version into domestic cinemas.
