Instagram Apologises for Pedro Almodovar’s Film Poster Censorship
Facebook, the parent company of Instagram, has lifted a prohibition on a poster for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, which depicts a nipple producing a drop of milk.
The platform “should be ashamed” for its “censorship,” according to Javier Jaen, who designed the Madres Paralelas (Parallel Mothers) commercial. The social media business has since apologised for the poster’s removal. Because of the “clear artistic context,” Facebook issued an exemption to its customary rule on nudity.
Penelope Cruz plays one of two women whose paths intersect at a hospital as they prepare to give birth in the film, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1st.
