Was that the official reason? Because it certainly wasn't titillating, regardless of the cinematography. The entire film was meant to unnerve the viewer with the shaking camera, infrasound and unsettling music (the scene where Pierre and Marcus traverse the nightclub is one of the most atmospherically nauseous that I've watched), reverse chronology and absolute nihilism. And of course, the seizure-inducing strobe lights. There was much more going on for it than just the rape scene. It was in no way meant to be erotic.
