Sri Lankan government bans local film Aksharaya (Letter of Fire};
...........Written and directed by Asoka Handagama, the movie depicts a series of psychosexual traumas within an upper middle class Sri Lankan family—a female magistrate (Piyumi Samaraweera), her elderly husband, who is a former High Court judge (Ravindra Randeniya), and their 12-year-old son (Isham Samzudeen). It explores the questions of incest, rape, murder and other dark secrets within the family and their impact on the young boy......
Aksharaya, which was partially funded by Fonds Sud Cinema of France and shown at festivals in Spain and Japan last year, was initially given an "adults only" rating by Sri Lanka's censorship body, the Public Performance Board (PPB), and cleared for local screenings in early April. Soon after, however, the minister for culture Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana suddenly claimed the film production involved child abuse and ordered the PBB to reverse its approval.
........Another reason for the government sensitivity to Aksharaya is that it delves into the moral degeneration and corruption of sections of the Sri Lankan ruling elite, in this case the judiciary. According to Handagama, if the minister's allegations of child abuse cannot be sustained, the government plans to initiate contempt of court action against the director for bringing the judiciary into disrepute.
...............Aksharaya is Handagama's fourth feature—previous works include Chanda Kinnari [1998], Me Mage Sandai (This is my Moon) [2000] and Thani Thatuwen Piyambanna (Flying with one wing) [2002]. They all attempt to explore social and sexual issues that previous Sri Lankan filmmakers have been reluctant to deal with.......

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@Snapblast - The authorities believe the story line is "inappropriate" and also there was a nude scene at the beginning [which I was forced to remove by You Tube].

This is all written above under the description section.

Hey... there's deleted scenes at around 5:40

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@gmn078 - Yes, I had to remove that part in line with You Tube Community Guide Lines.

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

LOL. Yes. This is the only film I have posted in this channel.

This film has become very controversial in Sri Lanka, few years back and I had to edit and cut some parts before posting.

Super Incest

[dharshana81]

the movie is based on the Freudian theory that there is an underlying sexual attraction between a mother and her (male) child.

I completely agree with you ASHOKA HANDAGAMA for what you are going to tell us with this great movie. Yes death is the best answer for a suffering life.It will suffer suffer and suffer until it dies because it is made of a heart that you can never stop.The child has done two good things killing two who have no way to get rid of it.In the court of my heart, I release him praising him for great work he'd done. Can James cameron, shake spear,Dickens second you

Kahandagama.It gave me much to think
