Synopsis

"This is a profound and tragic vision of humanity at its bare, forked basics" (Patrick Marmion, Evening Standard)

The Censor is "a gripping brief encounter between a pornographic film actress and the man with the licensing scissors.

A moving parable of the critic and artist as a healing and finally tragic, love story."

(Michael Coveney, Daily Mail)
