The Ukrainian ministry5 of culture told local film distributor Sinergia it had "decided6 to ban all showings of this film on Ukrainian territory".

Bruno, it said, "contains unjustified showing of genital organs（生殖器）".

In addition, the film depicts7（描述） what the ministry calls "homosexual perversions8（误用）" in an "explicitly9 realist manner".

Rated 18 in the UK, Bruno sees Cohen playing a gay Austrian fashion reporter who travels to the US to make his name.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has warned audiences the film contains "strong sex and sex references".

'Artistically10 unjustified'

Cohen's previous comedy, Borat, was denied a distribution licence in Russia for poking11（刺，戳） fun at its neighbour and close ally Kazakhstan.

However, it is Bruno's treatment of homosexuality that has enraged12 officials of the conservative Ukraine.

Nine members of the culture ministry's 14-person commission voted for a total ban of the film, currently topping the box office chart on both sides of the Atlantic.

The commission cited the film's "artistically unjustified exhibition of sexual organs and sexual relations, homosexual acts in a blatantly13（公开地） graphic14 form, obscene（下流的） language, sadism（虐待狂） [and] anti-social behaviour" as the reasons behind its decision.
