It's history is far more interesting than the actual film itself.
It was given an '18' cert in the UK by the BBFC, but at the same time they refused to give it a Video certificate.
As it was such a minority interest film any distributor would HAVE to have a video release to make back their money...with no chance of a video certificate it meant no one picked up the film and so it never even got it's allowed cinema release.
As such the 'no video' stance by the BBFC banned the film via the back door. Though ultimately it probably gave the film more of a reputation than it would have had.
A few years later it was given an uncut '18' cert for Video release anyway!
