One of Luc Besson's most incredible movies, Leon has been restored to stunning 4K and is being released in celebration of its 25th anniversary. Visually stylish and graphically violent, this intensely emotional film contains career defining performances and stands up as one of the top action- thrillers of all time whilst offering great depth and substance to the tragic multi-layered heroes. Mathilda (Natalie Portman) is only 12 years old, but is already familiar with the dark side of life: her abusive father stores drugs for corrupt police officers, and her mother neglects her. Léon (Jean Reno), who lives down the hall, tends to his houseplants and works as a hired hitman for mobster Tony (Danny Aiello). When her family is murdered by crooked DEA agent Stansfield (Gary Oldman), Mathilda joins forces with a reluctant Leon to learn his deadly trade and avenge her family's deaths.
Extras:
Léon - A Ten Year Retrospective
Jean Reno - The Road to Léon
Natalie Portman - Starting Young
Interview with Jean Reno
Interview with Eric Serra

An artist can create a piece of work in their interpretation, but it will always be conveyed by the observer through their own interpretations.
So if you want to watch a brilliant film and interpret 'that scene' in the innocent way I interpret it, then it's a great film.
Wanna watch it with a demonizing mentality that looks to associate anything deviant to any aspect of movies you watch, then have fun moaning about it on here.
As with the director's history, I'd recommend checking trusted sources for credible information (as you should with anything really), if you want to pursue your witch hunt. Me personally, like I suggested, I'm open to interpreting things the way that makes logical sense to me.
I can go into a whole monologue about how this scene is innocent (remember, this is mine and many many others interpretation) but bigots can't be reasoned with.
As with any director's cut, there's scenes that should have been cut, while others add to the film and should have remained.
I've enjoyed both. Clearly some scenes are a bit cringy between the 2 leads.
