According to director Axelle Carolyn the BBFC asked for four cuts with an overall runtime of 16 seconds during the suicide sequence towards the beginning of the movie in order to get a rating. Otherwise, the movie would be banned which would mean the project's financial deathblow. Carolyn, however, thought that the alterations during the opening scene changed the intention of the opening too much and romanticised the main character's suicide. As a result, Carolyn decided to cut the scene out entirely. As a result, the movie was rated BBFC-15 in the UK.
